Man has explored all the continents, but life remains full of mysteries...
In the very heart of the rainforest, some creatures seem coming straight out of a science fiction movie. They are nicknamed the Mini-monsters. Most of these strange animals live in the forests of tropical America, especially in the Amazon.
Welcome to the secret world of Membracidae, tiny insects with curious and dramatic shapes. Dr. Stuart Mc Kamey now heads an international expedition whose objective is to understand their coping strategies and identify as many species as possible.
