Talks on our Native Animals and Plants
1, 'Butterfly Travellers '
C. B. Williams , Chief Entomologist,
Rothamsted Experimental Station
This is the first of a new series of natural-history talks that aims at telling the inside story of some of Britain's familiar animals and plants.
Butterflies are generally thought to be short-lived insects that do not stray much from the place where they emerged from the chrysalis, but this is not so ; many of them live long enough to travel very long distances regularly, and some may even cross and re-cross the Atlantic on their own wings.
