1. Ext. garden -- summer Day Hello! What cool moths you are introducing kids to! Agree with Sara that we might be biting off more than we can chew here from a learning perspective. Might be good to simply to focus on diversity of moths and comparing and contrasting them. A few specific notes below. Elinor, Ari , Olive and Mz. Mole are walking through the flower garden. Mz. Mole has a flower in her hair. A hummingbird clearwing moth flies past Elinor, Aril, Olive and Mz. Mole and over to a bunch of flowers growing nearby . There is an audible <SFX: Hum> as it passes by. Ari Whoah , what is that? Angle On - the moth hovers <SFX: Hum> over the flowers just like a hummingbird as it dips its proboscis to drink nectar. ElinOR Is that a... hummingbird? Mz. Mole It looks like a hummingbird, but it’s actually a moth ! For better understanding, might need to say something like, “It looks a lot like a little hummingbird, but it’s not a bird at all. It’s actually an insect - a moth!” Ari Wow! How can you tell? It’s moving so fast . MZ. MOLE I have a picture of it in this book, all about moths! Mz. Mole takes out her storybook and opens the front cover. CLOSE ON the storybook which shows the hummingbird clearwing moth. 2. THE STORYBOOK The storybook comes to life in a popup book style of animation. The clearwing moth flutters its wings, so we know it’s alive. For clarity: “If we look closely, we can see that it looks more like a moth. Look at its fuzzy antennae.” Olive Now it looks like a moth. Look at its fuzzy antennae. The clearwing moth flies away and the page turns to reveal three moths side by side - a luna moth (green), a rosy maple moth (pink and yellow), and an Io moth (yellow with two large eye spots). The moths each flap their wings a bit so we see they’re alive. MZ. MOLE (V.O.) Moths come in lots of dazzling colors and sizes. The page turns to reveal a moth that looks just like a brown/dead leaf on a pile of dead brown leaves. Mz. MOLE (V.O.) See this moth ? Ari (V.O.) Wh ich moth , Mz. Mole? I just see some leaves. Suddenly, one of the “leaves” begins to flap its wings, then flies away. For clarity - “What?! That moth looked like a leaf!” Elinor (V.O.) What?! That leaf was a moth! MZ. MOLE (V.O.) And how about this one? CLOSE ON a tree trunk and a yellow comet moth with long “tails” flies in and lands on the tree. Elinor (v.O.) Ooh , pretty! Is that a butterfly? A little confusing as written right now. Maybe “That’s a good question. Let’s take a closer and compare it to a butterfly we know.” (Though it might be simpler to elminate the comparisons to butterflies here in general and stick to comparing moths to each other.) MZ. MOLE (V.O.) Good question. Take a closer look . The page turns and reveals a comparison of the comet moth and a tiger swallowtail butterfly. We see them close up from the front so we have a good look at their antennae. Mz. Mole’s finger tip comes into frame to point at the butterfly antennae. MZ. MOLE (V.O.) Butterflies have skinny antennae. Elinor’s finger comes into frame to point at the moth’s antennae. “And moth’s antennae are wider and fuzzy.” (same comment as above to think about comparing moths to moths) Elinor (V.O.) Oh, and moth’s antennae are fuzzy. The page turns to reveal an atlas moth. Mz. Mole’s hand comes into frame and the atlas moth climbs onto it. The moth is so large that its wingspan is wider than the hand. Mz. MOLE (v.O.) This is an atlas moth , the largest moth in the world . ELINOR (V.O.) Whoah , that’s huge. The moth flaps its wings and flies away. We watch it fly through the sky. Mz. MOLE (v.O.) The atlas moth is so big. People sometimes think it’s a bird. Elinor Wow, moths can be as big as birds and as pretty as butterflies. 3. EXT. FLOWER GARDEN -- SUMMER Day We watch the book close. Back in the flower garden, Elinor, Ari , Olive and Mz. Mole look around for the hummingbird clearwing moth. MZ. MOLE Now where did that hummingbird moth go? Olive There it is! We see the moth is drinking from the flower in Mz. Mole’s hair. The children all <SFX: Laugh> End
