Beauty on the Wing

Kim Smith has been a long-time lecturer on butterflies and moths. She lives in Gloucester where she has designed a garden along the harbor walk. In October 2018 Kim was interviewed by the BBC and PBS for her work in documenting Monarch Butterflies. She provided film footage from her film Beauty on the Wing: Life Story of the Monarch Butterfly for the BBC-produced show “Autumnwatch: New England.”

Kim will present her award-winning film Beauty on the Wing: Life Story of the Monarch Butterfly, a 56-minute feature filmed along the shores of Cape Ann and in the heart of Mexico’s forested volcanic mountains. Every stage of the butterfly’s life cycle is experienced in vibrant close-up, from egg to caterpillar to adult and set to the background of sea and forest, sun and wind. Following the film will be a Q and A session.
