Natural World: Butterflies
Brimming with butterfly imagery, the miraculous life-cycle and behaviour of these beautiful flying jewels is shown in a way never seen before. Viewers are taken on a far-reaching journey through the UK and beyond, through habitats that are peculiarly British and others that are simply peculiar, including the country's biggest tattoo convention, disused railway sidings filled with rusting locomotives and an obsessed millionaire's mansion filled with gnomes' homes and giant dragons. Along the way, meet graffiti artists, burlesque dancers, eccentric scientists, passionate farmers, awestruck children and ambitious property tycoons, for whom butterflies are a constant and continuing source of inspiration.
Welcome to BBC EARTH! The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. Here you'll find 50 years worth of entertaining and thought-provoking natural history content. Dramatic, rare, and exclusive, nature doesn't get more exciting than this.

Ants rescue "runaway" larva. Soon more babies missing. Ants: "Better go bring back those naughty runaways."

Tyler Mac but the guy is here
Heh heh, they cut out a wee sting in tale.
You see, even though the Blue Butterfly Caterpillar smells like the ants, there is a type of solitary wasp that can always find them.
The wasp releases a pheromone that causes the ants to fight among themselves while the wasp lays an egg inside a few of those defenceless caterpillars.
The ant must feel so heartbroken and betrayed.
Bugs scary up close....
Is no one gonna talk about the sheep with some kind of plant on its face?

............Almost sounds.......multicultural doesn't it.
No, it would never be able to extinct a whole ant population.
Sounds bit like cuckoo bird.
That's a European for ya.
The voice of the narrator sounds so pleasing!!!
@TheIceCubes r/woooooosh
Butterflies are so beautiful
So much so that the way she discribes how parasitic the butterfly is by eating ant children still sounds like they live in total peace
Yeah but the things she talks about are so dark damn people taking over this evil butterfly's land .

Narrator acting like these butterflies are a piece of cultural history.
Meanwhile if *I* try and eat somebody's children, people call me a monster.
I mean we eat unborn chickens but then maybe that is because we don't recognize them as sentient.
We don't eat fertilized eggs. They are entirely without sentience. And for the record, hens do that too, if their eggs go unfertilized for long enough.
@@hunterwillis3775 All store bought eggs are not fertilized.
As for eating unborn chickens, mind telling my damn hens to stop eating their babies? Because damnit I don't get any eggs or chicks lol!
@@bokoura some places eat fertilized eggs
I'm sure the ant brought the caterpillar home and said, "Look what I found mom. Can I keep it? Pleaaaaase?"
This reminds me so much of me, that it’s not even funny. Then again, almost every kid is like this. Boy, I feel bad for those ants.
And... it ate their baby siblings.
Months later: "Where did all your sisters go?"
Tyler Mac hello 👋
*Butterflies are beautiful.*
They live a short and fast life on steroids.
maybe parasites are meant to have a short life to keep their numbers down
What a precious and adorable monstrosity that literally eats babies. I guess if you're cute you can get away with anything.
Someone should re-cut the trailer to the movie "Alien" in this style. _"Xenomorphs have a rather interesting approach to parental care..."_ as gentle, tinkly music plays in the background.
Seriously. This is a parasitic organism and a baby eater but apparently it pollinates flowers or something and is pretty so we're going to romanticize it.
Part of it is that individual ants don't really matter. They have no real determination of their own and are born to have short lifespans with high turnover. The 'meaningful' thing is the entire ant colony, taking individual ants from it is more akin to eating individual cells.
The butterflies are beutiful. I think its worth it to spare a few ant larvae to produce pretty pollinating butterflies. Its a life cycle that should be respected like all others❣
Lol, I would love to see that.
The true difference is that the butterflies are endangered and the ants aren't.
A carnivorous caterpillar/Butterfly
Just what we need...
Albertosaurus sarcophagus - you’re aware that many butterfly species are carrion eaters neh?
@@grendelum Yeah, I knew. I just thought I'd make a joke.
I Shane know
@@grendelum They don't "eat" the carrion
They lap up salts and fluids from the body
Most caterpillars are herbivores.
But once they become adult butterflies, they feed on tree sap, nectar, or fruit juice

Lets make our agriculture more ecosystem-friendly, and more sustainable at the same time!
Do you even understand what those words mean and what ramifications implementation has for the country and population?
@@GentlemanBystander With a bachelors degree in environmental management anda master degree in plant production, both in Germany: yes.
Hence my comment.
So, could you please clarify your objection instead of asking ignorant questions?
@@Gothead420 I'd just love for you to back up your rather contrived set of bonafides with something of substance.
But, of course, you won't short of cherry picking from page 1 google search results and then only if you feel significantly put on the spot.
@@GentlemanBystander Organic farming, verticalfarming, the desertec-project...there are many - well known - ways to do this.
I actually studied in this field (now im looking for a job...^^), so i know is feasable.
@@Gothead420 What post-secondary institution did you attend because I find it VERY hard to believe that schools that are teaching agriculture would default to theoretical practices (reclaiming desert is actual altering a naturally occurring biome which is no only not sustainable but detrimental to nature), Fad techniques ( Organic farming is noted for lower yields and less efficient use of land), and logistically troublesome methods (vertical farming requires massive area development and infrastructural diverting to provide the housing and upkeep areas of enclosed/stacked farming, it also limits the types and amounts of crop that can be grown) versus conferring actual proven techniques.
The "I'm looking for a job" part is also extremely telling.

Butterfly 100,000 years ago:
If I give off the precise exact pheromone so I can be taken into the ant colony to grow. I'll just develop some exact chemical producing glands along with the exact right pheromones so that works well. Since this will take at least thousands of years to evolve, I'd better start writing this design into my DNA and make sure my relatives thousands of generations from now are also still writing this into their DNA somehow
Either that or it was designed
I'm just curious to know how this species came about eating ants larvae than plants.
I'm imagining that it started out normal, eating leaves, then one day it fell off a stalk and dropped into the abyss below where it was adopted by the ants. While living underground, so far from tasty vegetation, it had no choice but to eat those fat, grubby ant larvae it calls its family. It was finally able to pupate and now becomes the butterfly we know today.
I didn’t expect this type of video... ants make good nannies I suppose
I didn’t think butterflies would eat bugs....

Shame they’re so rare, they’re gorgeous

Ths narrator's voice s soothing..I will fast asleep jst by hearing her voice...So relaxing
Hello! You might have made a mistake there. I think the shown ant is not the yellow meadow ant (lasius flavus), but rather the european fire ant (myrmica rubra). they got an extra little segment between the middle and backpart and the backpart of the ant is facing more downward (more straight and bigger to the rest of the body in lasius flavus and no extra segment). Also myrmica rubra have bigger heads than lasius flavus compared to their body. Plus the european fire ant can sting as the name implies. Have a great day!
The ant is more caring than the other people
Let's face it. Some people identify as Large Blues.
Butterfly Is The Worst Guest Ever!
Superb
That's what I call ant-ertainment!
Reality is wonderful.
*AND THUS HITLER WAS BORN*
Nature uhhhh finds a way
I feel so great that there are instances like these it makes me remove the pain I felt when the red ants and tiny ants attacked the Chrysalis I was taking care off. I really wanted to see how my baby wormy will develop and then my baby didn't even have a chance to bloom because they killed it I still blamed myself for what had happened.
Beautiful process of nature but, what I would like to know is....what is that barnacle like substance growing on the sheep's face?
Marilyn Alvarez that’s just some sticky fruit/flower stuck on the cheek. Nothing serious.
Yes just burrs/brambles that have come unstuck from grass & weeds that lodge in the wool.
I bet there’s a helpful relationship there too...maybe the sheep carry the plants’ seeds elsewhere in those pods or something
This caterpillar can be a GREAT life lesson. Just because someone dresses and acts like you... dont mean they're your friend.
Figuring out the fakes from the reals.. 👌
This butterfly is a changeling.
Wow.
The narrator is... the closest I've felt to Sir David Attenborough.
Right? She did amazing
I agree. It will be tough to replace him, but she does pretty good job so far.
*HIDE YO CHILDREN HIDE YO WIFE ANTS!*
Amazing!!! Ol blue adopted by his ant.

It sounds like another scenario in the UK I can think of....
This actually a teaser trailer of next remake Alien movie, where Ripley adopts charming giant biomechanical baby that proceeds to eat her daughter Amanda and then cocoons, until Xebomorph with wings bursts out of the shell.
A family picture.
butterfly? that looks like a moth
"the caterpillar mimics the sound and smell of the ants own young" @ 0:39 wow interelatedness
Honestly I was shocked knowing this.. I thought it would eat leaves.. but well that's nature.. everything is calculated well...
It's kind of like the ants went to a pet store to buy a caterpillar as a pet and raised it as if the caterpillar was some kind of domestic animal.
I've seen one of those before in my garden.
Is it protected species in Britain or not?
Here's what I hope if there's a movie like this
(Kinda)
An ant was working with the others, until he hears a cry,
He finds a little caterpillar alone, then the ant sees his parents dead, because of the scorpions, so he took the orphan to his place and showed it to the others, the soldier says "Ah, food!", then he gives the orphan to the female ant to teach the soldier a lesson not to hurt babies, after that he tells his friends to come and see the reason not to harm the orphan. Scorpions over the 2 corpses feasting. They see one of the scorpions that has 2 tails. 2 tailed scorpions are warriors, and the 3 tailed are kings, then the 2 tailed named Striker who is part Fiddler crab, turns to the ants, and the ants escape while Striker tried to kill them with his fiddler claw. Then the ant who adopted the orphan decided to go and ask the queen if he can raise it. The queen says alright, and many weeks later he is full grown and now named Morph. Morph goes on an adventure at night until he sees one of the 1 tailed scorpions slacking off eating beetle dung."Uh, who are you?" Then he says in a Scottish accent "I am Figgy, the scorpion who is the jack,
Would you like some dung?"
Morph: "Uh, no thanks."
Figgy: "Your loss. *eats more*
I hear you've been adopted by the ants, and that's not how nature would go."
Then the scorpions come to see what the chit chat was.
Figgy tells Morph to run, while Striker comes out to see.
Morph rushes back to the ants to tell them the war must end. All of the ants, including the other species come in to help. The final war began, while Morph goes to the 3 tailed king.
3 tailed king: I see you would want your family back
Morph: What?! What do you know?!
3 tailed king: What I know is... I AM THE KILLER KING!!!!!
The final fight begins with 3 tail throwing his claw at Morph. Then a sacrifice was made, Striker shoves Morph out of the way of 3 tail's attack, and Striker gives Morph an apology for the killing. And the ants finish 3 tail off,
And during the feast, there are other bugs with the ants.
Spiders, Mantis, Beetles, more of them.
And Morph grew even more bigger. The queen gives him a reward for saving the ants. Being the prince, but then his foster dad tells him look. A female butterfly and Morph falls in love immediately.
Tarantula: *Laughs* Lover Boy!
Foster ant: THATS IT YOU *bleep*!
That is what I hope for, or at least on Netflix
Like from Next Gen had the bleep😂
Well...The cuteness factor lasted about 50 seconds 🤨
Fascinating. We must do all we can to save our planet.
The narrator is female version of David Attenborough. I would listen to her voice all day
It's the actress Imelda Staunton.
Remember, everyone: Beauty is fickle. Often the prettier animals behave the most reprehensibly. Might even be why orchids are worse.
@LagiNaLangAko23 Believe me, that is _FAR_ from the extent of their sins. They also parasitise fungal networks and cut off the nutrient exchange of neighboring plants to dispose of competition. Truly, they are a natural born neutral evil.
Just like orchid mantis and carnivorous caterpillar
Very interesting! Never could imagine to happen something like that 👍
Millions of thanks to BBC for thinking abt even this tiny creature.
this is very peaceful music for what is essentially a murdering butterfly haha
This butterfly is very beautiful. But, the video makes me sad...we have destroyed our world. I never thought I would see the end of the human race...or the beginning of the end. How arrogant we have been, shame on us.

Are you assuming its species?!?
Its a butterfly, why do you think otherwise
@@voiceofexperience
hahahahahah oh no, I am!
Look at the antennae, and posture. Pure butterfly.
Butterflies usually have bare antennae, that weird upright stance and upward pointing wings, while moths usually have fuzzier antennae, a huddled stance and their wings cloak their bodies.
Love it!🦋🦋❤
Had to see this for myself and I was not disappointed.

I'd really love to do a breeding program with these I have seen a few in my area but not many and my house gets infested with carpenter ants swarming n in my home each summer so i could do with some of these butterflies in me garden if anyone knows how i could go about this please, please let me know. I love butterflies and my niece is called Holly so she would probably love this project too. Thanks in advance 💙🦋

In France we have a lot of them... And I see a lot, but ours are blue and slightly purple on the wingside. Though it's forbidden to capture animals in this country.
carnivorous caterpillars? What's next, a species of butterfly that sucks blood?
You say how if you don't understand, my understanding you can't radar it states no one will be wiser than him is the lineage of David not King Solomon also?
Did you guys know that I hunt these butterflies .
These butterflies are in the Caribbean.
I found them beautiful , so I captured them.
I regret it now that I know they are rare.
But there still around so now I won't hunt any butterflies.
I don't want to be the one to cause it to go extinct.
