This big, beautiful butterfly has won people's hearts the world over. The way a single specimen teeters on the merest of leaf-ends to place its egg, how the hatchling caterpillar doggedly demolishes its host-plant, how later it quivers and folds itself up inside a glittering jewel-casing that appears by magic before our very eyes... And then the emergence of a completely transformed winged creature, a creature of stunning saturated hues, a creature that floats and lurches mid-air . . . Causing us to hold our breath, hold the moment.
