The Great Butterfly Adventure

49MIN

The migration of the Painted Lady has long-fascinated scientists, artists and nature lovers alike. The longest butterfly migration on Earth, it sees millions of these delicate creatures travel from the desert fringes of North Africa, across thousands of miles of land and sea, before settling in the UK. However, the migration has never truly been understood, the mysteries of the Painted Lady never unraveled - until now. Over the course of this program, The Great Butterfly Adventure will reveal the secrets of this extraordinary phenomenon. Observed, investigated and analyzed by our presenter Martha Kearney and entomologist Dr. James Logan, we will employ ground breaking techniques to unlock the secrets of the Painted Ladies.
