Emerging as the lights go out, we meet a cockroach, coming to get some food. This survivor tells us how he can go without air, food, water and even a head. But with all the humans and animals out to get him or eat him, it's no wonder he tries to avoid the light. Creepy Crawlies are slimy, squashy, stingy little pests, or so we all think, but in this series the insects invite us into their world to set the record straight. Each episode stars a different insect, who tells us all about where they live, what jobs they do, how they survive in such dangerous places and how we humans have got Creepy Crawlies all wrong!
