Butterflies and Moths (1957-00-00)
About this film
The most beautiful order in the insect class is without a doubt the Lepidoptera or scaled-winged insects. Butterflies and moths have interested many people, old and young, in collecting insects. You will see why when you look at the beautiful collections of these creatures from over the world. And from two collectors you'll learn how to begin a collection of your own, what equipment you will need, where to look for specimens, and how to properly mount them and keep them. Ivy LeMon, of the staff of the Massachusetts Audubon Society and an expert on butterflies and moths, and Carlo Mosc, high school students are guests.
