Butterfly Bonanza! Stratford-upon-Avon and Butterfly Spotting

Host Bex takes us along with Adam for a magical trip to the Stratford-upon-Avon Butterfly Farm. Experience what it’s like to step into the tropics even in the middle of a British winter, where it’s always warm and hundreds of butterflies flutter all around. Adam chats to William Gorst, horticulturist and tour guide, who shares how the butterflies live, feed, and transform from caterpillars to magnificent adults. Plus, we learn fascinating facts like how the Mayans saw butterflies as ancestors visiting us, and why you should always handle these delicate insects with care. Then, we put our butterfly-spotting skills to the test with Dan from Butterfly Conservation, focusing on the Red Admiral — an amazing British butterfly that’s bold, bright, and active even in winter! Discover the science behind their vibrant wings, how climate change is helping them survive UK winters, and what you can plant to make your garden a butterfly havenJoin Fun Kids Podcasts+: https://funkidslive.com/plusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
