Following a Blue Tiger caterpillar and butterfly (Tirumala hamata) living in the Daintree, affectionately referred to as 'Blue', this documentary clip utilises innovative slow-motion, drone and macro camera techniques to capture delicate imagery of Blue’s lifecycle.

Macro filming reveals the detailed biological process of Blue the caterpillar creating, then shedding, a chrysalis and transforming into an entirely new being: a butterfly. Triumphal music and awestruck narration underscore the miraculous nature of what we’re witnessing.

The excerpt showcases the film’s highly detailed approach to tracking Blue's journey from metamorphosis to migration. Butterfly Journey also raises the alarm about the dangers of climate change and its detrimental effects on butterfly species' survival.
