Sex, Lies and Butterflies
Moths and butterflies have been flying around the planet for over 130 million years.
Today, an estimated 28,000 species inhabit the globe. We follow their amazing cycle of life – from egg to caterpillar, to chrysalis, and on to the miraculous emergence of a beautiful winged creature.
Moths, butterflies and caterpillars seem barely more than little packets of protein – snacks on the wing for birds, tasty bites for reptiles and small mammals. But they have evolved a fascinating range of disguises and tactics to trick their predators.
