At first glance, the tropical forests of Australia seem empty and still. But look closer and they are packed with life. Few places in the country contain such a high diversity of insects as here. From the canopy to the forest floor, insects cram into every space – and they must fight to survive. In this great battle for life, insects have adopted extraordinary survival strategies: jumping spiders disguise themselves as ants; ants use their larvae as glue-guns to build elaborate tree-top camps; what look like leaves are in fact stick-insects. From caterpillars that pretend to be toxic to tiny spiders that are ferocious hunters, nothing in Australia’s forests is quite what it seems.
