Riveting descriptions of spiders and insects, from the perspective of both predator and prey, draw the reader into a world beyond the human perspective. Insightful accounts are given of body structures and behaviors employed by insects in their struggle to exist – a struggle which may conflict or align with that of the humans in their environment, and cause them to be viewed as enemy or ally. Additional enjoyment is provided by the explanation of innovative and elaborate photography techniques used to capture the images of the insects. - Summary by Jonathon Kirk<br /><br />This episode includes AI-generated content.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>13621</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>align,animals,fairchild,insects,jonathon,monsters,perspective,predator,spiders,struggle</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/6fde27789742f70c622030838e9669b4.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item></channel></rss>
