Provence sauvage : les secrets de métamorphose des papillons 🦋 | Insectes | Nature | BOREALES

One Provençal midday, beneath an olive tree trembling with heat, a caterpillar raises its head towards the sky. Soon, it will become a flying princess. 🐛🦋 Nature Tales, only on @BOREALES_ 👉 https://bit.ly/48iuhjF - Subscribe 🐥 On the wild fennel, two neighbors grow: the flamboyant swallowtail and the discreet hummingbird hawk-moth. For one, you must climb, attach yourself with a silken girdle, and freeze into a nymph. For the other, bury yourself in the warm earth and harden into a chrysalis. Two opposing paths, one same promise: to be born into the light. But the grass harbors a danger: carnivorous ants patrol. The tiny creatures learn the art of silence, the economy of a heartbeat, the patience of a breath. 🐜 Further on, a Blue butterfly plots its ruse. It steals the scent of the larvae, invites itself into the ants' nest, and gets fed there all winter. When the dawn of its metamorphosis arrives, it escapes, with new wings, before the subterfuge is discovered. At night, a dragonfly larva leaves the water. It climbs, pulls itself up, and sheds its old skin. Its still-wet wings unfold, vibrate, and dry. In the morning, the Anax imperator takes to the wind: four independent wings, a body sculpted for the precision of the sky. Three metamorphoses. Three strategies. The same enchantment: that of life reinventing itself. #Swallowtail #MoroSphinx #Azure #libellule #metamorphose #Provence #butterfly #wildlife #nature #documentary #boreales -------------------------------------------------------------------- BOREALES: Once Upon a Time in Nature The animals that inhabit our lands have fabulous adventures to tell us.
