Peek into the world of nature’s tiniest superheroes!

From blooming meadows to city parks and backyard gardens, this inspiring film celebrates the magic of nature while showing practical ways to make a difference.  Along the way, you’ll see the groundbreaking work of The Caterpillar Lab, entomologist David Wagner, and Doug Tallamy, co-founder of Homegrown National Park.  You'll hear inspiring stories about why caterpillars are essential to healthy ecosystems and learn simple steps you can take to create habitat in your own yard or community.
