Continuing the series general policy at this point of alternating history and science themed stories, we head to the planet Vortis, populated by the butterfly-like Menoptra and ant-like Zarbi. The latter of these have fallen under the influence of the Animus, a parasitic creature which is slowly enveloping the whole planet in webs.
 
The Doctor and friends join up with a group of Menoptra and defeat the Animus, freeing the Zarbi from its control.

=== Tropes ===
 
* [[Alien Sky]]: Vortis has multiple moons, drawn there by the Animus.
* [[Big Creepy-Crawlies]]: The Zarbi and the larva guns.
* [[Bug War]]: In this case, bugs versus bugs rather than bugs versus humans.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Ian and Barbara finally get on the same page with the Doctor and Vicki about their adventures in Rome.
