Morpho, Vulcan, Death's Head Sphinx, Day Peacock... 200,000 species of butterflies inhabit the planet. They were around even before the dinosaurs. And over the last 300 million years, they have learned to adapt to all ecosystems. They are nature's 'superheroes'. But how do these insects, thought to be so fragile and ephemeral, deploy their super powers? What are their secret boots? Thanks to new technologies, researchers can track down these insects as never before, and reveal their fantastic abilities. Among their remarkable powers, butterflies have the ability to transform themselves. Thanks to their colours and patterns, some are able to mimic, camouflage or play the impostor. Their beauty can even prove fatal These are the super-metamorphs!

Thanks to new technologies, researchers can track down these insects as never before, and reveal their fantastic abilities. Among their remarkable powers, butterflies have the ability to withstand extreme temperatures. Their bodies can survive the freezing conditions of winter, but also the scorching heat of summer. They are masters at dealing with all the elements. They are the super-resilient ones!
Morpho, Vulcan, Deadheaded Sphinx, Day Peacock... 200,000 species of butterflies inhabit the planet. They were already here at the time of the first dinosaurs. And over the last 200 million years, they have learned to adapt to all ecosystems. They are nature's 'superheroes'. But how do these insects, thought to be so fragile and ephemeral, deploy their super powers? What are their secret boots? Thanks to new technologies, researchers can track down these insects as never before, and reveal their fantastic abilities. Among their remarkable powers, butterflies have mastery of the air. Despite their featherweight, some are able to travel thousands of kilometres, fly for months at a time, brave headwinds and even cross seas. They are super travellers!
