Butterflies are undoubtedly one of the most beautiful representatives of the insect kingdom. With their diverse appearance and relatively complex development, they fascinate both professional scientists and amateur wildlife enthusiasts across generations. This film offers an exclusive look at these amazing creatures and highlights various interesting facts about their lives. In particular, I loved the many unique shots of the insect microworld, which allow us to become a part of it and observe the entire butterfly cycle up close – from a tiny egg to death.
