The Secret World of Moths – You Will See Moths in a Different Light

Life is a fragile matter!

This film explores the complex respiratory system of a moth which consists of branching tubes that deliver oxygen directly to the cells.
The film does therefore more than just deliver existing information; it also provokes new scientific questions to be answered.

In our changing world, the study of moths is more important than ever. Lepidoptera are very sensitive to environmental change and being cold-blooded, they serve as excellent indicators of changes in their environment.

Geographically the film spans from the Arctic Circle to the Equator. Observing these two extreme environments helps us learn about and understand the diversity and complexity of their macroscopic world and our fragile existence on planet Earth.
