A review of the sciences.
Included in tonight's edition:
The Life and Death of the Pine Processionary
An extraordinary and beautiful film shows the hazardous existence of a caterpillar
Thaumetopoea Pityocampa.
Sometimes joyful, sometimes pitiful and seemingly innocuous, the Pine Processionary, as it is more familiarly called, is a wonderful subject for the French film director Robert Enrico; but the wake of destruction it leaves behind in its struggle for survival has forced French biologists to declare war on the species.
