Butterflies existed long before humans and even fluttered among the dinosaurs, but what do you really know about them? The Secret Life of Butterflies follows this fascinating insect through its four different stages of life – from egg, to caterpillar, to pupa and to its final form as a fully grown butterfly.
You’ll find out how to tell the difference between a butterfly and a moth, and discover what they eat, what they do extreme temperatures, and what we can do to save them from extinction.
