Wonderful and beautiful documentary

"This was a wonderful, educational documentary of the life cycle and migration habits of the butterfly. Many of them stop here in NJ and it's interesting to know how our stopping point fits in with the scheme of this cycle."

Nature at it's best

"I saw this on Nova recently and was so fascinated I didn't even blink during the whole thing! I'm giving it to my grand-daughter ( if I can part with it) because it is so well done and the story so Incredible! Makes you think - "if a butterfly can do this, I can do anything""

Lovely program, music issue

"Indeed, it's a lovely program about absolutely amazing creatures. As always with NOVA, superbly done. One thing: In two very un-Nova moments, in two segments they use soprano vocal "singing" (over orchestral) that is ear-splitting, spine-slicing, cruelly painful to some of us with sensitive hearing! Yikes! It actually triggers a migraine. Although I've watched this episode several times, I still have never heard what Stockard Chaning says about the chrysalis and then in the mating segment because that music is unbearable and I have to mute the volume (and take an Imitrex for migraine). But the other 50 minutes of this Nova episode are wonderful."
