The most beautiful of insects, the butterfly has long held the attention of artists and scientists alike. Eyewitness: Butterfly & Moth explores their world (and that of their less glamorous cousins) in the sharp clarity we expect from DK Vision. Watch caterpillars munch through vast quantities of greens, mummify themselves in cocoons, then emerge as glorious heralds of spring. But it's not all about pupation: watching the adults eat, unrolling their long proboscises to claim their drops of flower-food is worth the price of admission. Parents, kids, teachers, and even teens will enjoy Eyewitness: Butterfly & Moth as a fun way to explore these tiny flying gems. --Rob Lightner

5.0 out of 5 stars My 4-H groups love it!, September 27, 2000

Like all the videos in the "Eyewitness" series, this one is fast-paced and hold the attention of children (and adults!) of all ages. It features beautiful photography of butteflies and moths inflight, mating, laying eggs, etc., combined with zany things like how much salad you would have to eat to match the appetite of a caterpillar, some silly folklore (swallow a buttefly to get pregnant? ) Best of all, you get to see a Chinese guy eat a big fat catepillar. Kids might go "yuck" but they never forget this educational video. There's a trailer explaining how they did some of the special effects, too!

I'm a homeschool mom of 2. My 3 year old and 5 year old loved this. My 5 year old watched it over and over. She kept yelling to me, while I was cooking, all the things going on. Boy, she learned a ton. My son kept yelling to me that a man ate a bug, but he was learning as he was watching. I love the computer graphics, so great for children.
