A scientist explains how the savagery and efficiency of the insect world could result in their taking over the world.

This unique and quirky offering combines elements of documentary films and horror movies to illustrate the potential threat posed by the world's insects. With their collective intelligence, high capacity for work and sharp instincts, the film argues, they are waging a struggle against humans for supremacy of our planet. Expert cinematography captures footage of the small creatures, some quite tiny and elusive, interspersed with clips from horror films to achieve dramatic effects.—Jwelch5742

Humanity has a terminal flaw that may lead to its extinction: its excessive individualism, which places the needs of a single person over the needs of an entire species.—Dimos I
