Private Lives: The Private Life of the Large White Butterfly

on BBC One London

Filmed in incredible close-up, the unexpected details of the life-cycle of this common insect are revealed in graphic detail-some events are magnified over 200 times for the television screen.
From the tiny egg, the emerging caterpillar gets through four new suits before pupating into a chrysalis for the winter. In spring, the miracle of metamorphosis produces the fluttering butterfly of sunlight and flowers.
