Moths v Butterflies - Katy Brand, Jane Hill and Chris Jiggins

from The Infinite Monkey Cage · host BBC Radio 4

What really separates a moth from a butterfly? Is it just a matter of day and night, or is there more to this fluttering feud than meets the eye? Professor Brian Cox and Robin Ince flap into the fabulous world of Lepidoptera with Professor Jane Hill, Professor Chris Jiggins, and comedian Katy Brand. Together, they chase colourful wings through science and storytelling, uncovering epic insect migrations, the secrets behind dazzling wing patterns, and most importantly, why Katy has a butterfly tattoo on her arm!Producer: Olivia Jani Series Producer: Melanie Brown Executive Producer: Alexandra FeachemBBC Studios Audio Production
