Are these delicate painted lady butterflies merely prey for hungry frogs?
In short: This BBC Earth documentary explores the miraculous life cycle and behavior of the painted lady butterfly. The film journeys through diverse landscapes, from British habitats to eccentric locations, to capture the beauty and survival struggles of these flying jewels.
The film follows the painted lady butterfly, a creature often viewed as delicate living artwork, but which serves as vital prey for frogs using their incredible tongues. The production takes viewers on a wide-ranging journey through the UK and beyond, exploring peculiar habitats such as disused railway sidings filled with rusting locomotives and a mansion filled with giant dragons and gnomes' homes. Along the way, the series features a diverse cast of characters, including graffiti artists, burlesque dancers, eccentric scientists, passionate farmers, and ambitious property tycoons, all of whom find inspiration in the butterfly's life.
