| Description: | C/U of stinging nettles and thistles. A peacock butterfly is seen. Swallowtail butterfly is seen in C/U. We see the female lay an egg. A caterpillar emerges from the egg. An older swallowtail caterpillar is seen and its colours are described. We see how the caterpillar changes into a pupa - its outer skin is shed (presumably this is shot in time lapse). Another swallowtail is seen. Burnett (?) moth emerges from a pupa. C/U of the moth. C/Us of various butterflies extracting nectar from flowers. Film ends with more shots of the woman walking through the flowery meadow. | |
