Issue 1 - MINI-WORLD OF INSECTS AND SPIDERS
Wherever we live, we are sure to share our world with insects and spiders. But as we go about our lives, we may rarely notice them going about theirs. This informative issue enters their mini-world for an up-close look at the lifestyles of some of these fascinating creatures, from how they grow and develop to the ways they construct their homes. Students will also learn how they protect and provide for themselves and their young, and sometimes live in cooperative societies or collaborate with other species. - 24 Minutes

Issue 2 - FARMER ANTS
The leafcutter ants produce their own food by growing fungus gardens. This issue shows how they produce a growing medium using collected leaves, and how they plant, weed, and irrigate their crops. Close-up photography shows them building nests and creating underground, growing chambers and reservoirs to capture rainwater for irrigation. The program also explains how biologically produced chemicals keep their crops pest and disease free, as well as what scientists learned from them to help human farmers. - 14 Minutes.

Issue 3 - INSECTS USING CHEMISTRY
The insect is both a fascinating subject of study and a potential threat to our food supply. In this revealing program, we enter the tiny, complex kingdom of the insect to learn how the chemicals in their bodies help them communicate and adapt to their world. Also, we discover how, while learning from the insect's remarkable abilities, we are also developing ways to control them. - 12 Minutes

Issue 4 - LEAFCUTTER ANTS
Leafcutter ants are considered terrible pests because they strip nearby plants of their foliage. Yet, these tiny insects, which grow their own food on the leaves they cut, have amazing skills as farmers. They control the growth of their crops and keep them disease free with chemicals produced in their bodies. In this close-up look at leafcutters, we show how studying these ants have helped human farmers grow better crops. - 13 Minutes
