If anyone has BBC1, this looks like an excellent nature programme - Life in the Undergrowth. It starts tonight at 8pm GMT.

They use special cameras to get these amazing macro shots.

Thanks for the reminder - the trailers for it have had some utterly remarkable photography in them. Attenborough, in an interview somewhere, said that the program was made possible entirely by advances in photographic technique. Not, I suspect, to be missed.

Ahhh... thanks for that! - I thought I had the wrong day or something. Anyway, I only missed the first 20 minutes or so.
I thought it was superb.
These slow-motion insect flight sequences at the end... And there was one shot of a fly landing on a leaf in slow-motion showing how he kind of 'grabbed' onto it with a leg or two first.
And these millipedes!!
Another fantastic nature production by Attenborough/BBC. For anyone who can't get BBC there's a 6 minute preview video:
