I won a hobby prize
for this setting.

1:00:22
And most of these
come from Central America.

1:00:25
I correspond with a monk
who sends me larvae, and...

1:00:29
and then I incubate them myself.
1:00:33
You see that?
This is a leaf butterfy.

1:00:37
Looks just like two leaves.
1:00:43
These are my chalkhills.
1:00:47
And... these are my Adonis blues.
1:00:52
I bred that aberration myself.
1:00:55
And it's better than any they've got
in the Natural History Museum.

1:01:03
These are my fritillaries.
1:01:05
That's the silver-washed
and that's the medium brown...

1:01:09
beckerwood, red admiral,
swallowtail, peacock.

1:01:16
They're beautiful...
1:01:19
but sad.
1:01:26
How many butterfies
have you killed?

1:01:33
You can see.
1:01:49
Think of all the living beauty
you've ended.

1:01:55
That's silly.
1:01:57
What difference does a few specimens
make to a whole species?
