Synopsis

There are ten quintillion bugs on earth, and they all need to have sex in order for their genes to move on to another generation. BUG SEX takes us into the bizarre world of how bugs do it – everything from sperm packets to sexual cannibalism.

Enjoyment of sex encourages humans to reproduce but that’s nothing compared to other organisms like insects: the most numerous, diverse and important group of animals on the planet. But the madness of sex in bug world has a method: it’s about evolution and what we can learn from an alternate world that surrounds us every day.
