PRODUCT SUMMARY
Butterflies and moths are beautiful and delicate, yet some, like monarch butterflies, are strong enough to fly hundreds of miles in their yearly migration. This program explores interesting facts about both types of insects, explains their amazing metamorphosis and shows how to tell them apart. In the studio, Dr. Art and Christina examine monarch caterpillars and build a caterpillar habitat in order to watch them transform into butterflies. Part of the Bug City Video Series, an engaging series created to help kids learn about insects and arachnids. Includes a Teacher's Guide.
EDITORIAL REVIEWS
"
...
Super (natural) close-up footage of bugs in the wild, great believe-it-or-not bug trivia, and a solid introduction to the basics of insect biology make Bug City an entertaining and informative choice for both public and curriculum collections. Highly recommended. Editor's Choice."
- Video Librarian"
The programs offer enlightening commentary, beautiful close-ups, and interesting asides about ants, beetles, bees, butterflies, ladybugs, and spiders. The well-written script and spectacular footage illustrating habitats, physical attributes, reproductive stages, protective mechanisms, and adaptive behaviors should prove to be intrinsically captivating."
