The Cyclops houses a team of scientists known as the Micronauts and guides them through their discoveries of biological classification, diversity, and ecology. In this episode, the Cyclops is swept over a waterfall and becomes trapped inside a plastic bottle, which turns out to be the ideal place to observe aquatic insects inhabiting the white water of the rapids. Part 8 of the Microscopic Monsters Series.
