"Witness nature's amazing ingenuity and diversity in this exploration that takes you far afield to a world where reality is elusive and the struggle for survival often takes bizarre forms. Discover how some animals use stealth, disguise and trickery to pilfer from others or escape detection." Antlions are featured in episode 7, "Sand Between the Toes."
"Lacewings are predatory insects which attack and kill large numbers of insect pests. Lacewings in the Crop Environment addresses both the theoretical and practical aspects of lacewing biology and their use in crop protection."
"More than three years in the making, Lions of the African Night reveals the savage secrets of Africa after dark. As night descends on the bushveld, a pride of 30 lions begins its nightly search for prey. Baboons snuggle in tree tops, big-eyed apes leap from limb to limb, and the chorus of the small creatures [including antlions] adds to the drama of the nocturnal hunt."
