Antlion: The predator in the pit MicroFreaks (HD)
-
- Natural Sciences
Our first episode of MicroFreaks takes us into a monster's lair … It might only be a monster on a micro scale, but with its powerful mandibles and paralysing venom, the antlion is pretty formidable if you look (very) closely. We’re zooming in on the predatory prowess that allows the insect to satisfy its insatiable appetite for ants.
