BBC Two - Springwatch, Springwatch Guide to Butterflies and Moths

An in-depth view of the UK's most colourful and fascinating creatures.

An in-depth view of the UK's butterflies and moths, including filming of their extraordinary life cycles and the latest science on their remarkable adaptations and lifestyles.

Join the Springwatch team for an in-depth view of the UK's most colourful and fascinating creatures, with private lives that are often stranger than fiction. Living all over our countryside as well as in our own back gardens, butterflies and moths are the animal world's ultimate transformers. Filming their extraordinary life cycles in ultra close-up, the team bring you the latest science on their remarkable adaptations and lifestyles.

Butterflies and moths are fussy creatures with very specific needs, and as such they are susceptible to the slightest change. Over past decades, their habitat and range has shrunk significantly and a recent spate of cold, wet summers has been disastrous for them. As the BBC's Summer of Wildlife continues, the Springwatch team show that it has never been more important to give them a helping hand, and it's possible for all of us to create a butterfly-friendly haven, even in the smallest of back gardens.
