“SPECIES OF MASS DESTRUCTION” documents invasive species that have been set free outside their native environment — often with no predator — and are now rapidly spreading and damaging biodiversity. Each one-hour episode features a different animal, such as giant crabs, lionfish, fire ants, and tree-eating moths.

Cute caterpillars can be incredibly destructive. Each ‘pine processionary caterpillar’ carries 60,000 venomous hairs. Their name comes from the way they parade from a silk nest in the treetops down to the ground, where they become fast-flying moths.
