Using incredible microscopic filming techniques, we investigate the story of a tiny invader on its inexorable rise to power – the Argentine Ant. The ant is minute, but that doesn’t prevent it being hugely invasive. Already, the ants have formed the largest super-colony on the planet, over nearly 6,000km from northern Italy to Portugal, through France and Spain. Is it possible to stop their advance towards the north? Scientists have serious doubts.

As the snow melts away in the Swiss Alps, one of the largest animal societies on Earth explodes into life. From a unique super-colony of a thousand mounds, millions of tiny wood ants appear. These ants don’t fight their own kind. But close by live warring breeds of their fellow species; wood ants from single mounds, aggressive creatures which survive by pillaging their neighbours. This drama of unlikely relationships is told through spectacular 4K footage.
The Appalachians form a vast mountain range, from Georgia in the south to Maine in the north. Its ridges and valleys are cloaked in dense forest and there’s a secret world of rivers and waterfalls. Caves and forest glades are inhabited by bears and red wolves, raccoons and possums, as well as dozens of other lesser known creatures, from hellbenders to cockroaches.
