Description: In the first film (undated; black and white; mute), Mr L. Hugh Newman, an entomologist and lepidopterist, and a male assistant prepare dead butterflies and moths for storage and display. A fashionable lady applies a preserved moth to her hat. Preserved moths are attached to a lampshade. Another fashionable young woman attaches a large preserved moth to her scarf. Preserved moths are attached to flower arrangements as extra decoration. Shots of moth capture in the field, with large cloth bags tied about the branches of bushes and trees in a large garden. Men and women open the cloth bags and remove and collect pupae. Elsewhere, live specimens of moths are collected from plants. A large number of caterpillars are shown upon the leaves of a nettle. Various close shots of beautifully patterned moths. The second film (Pathe; colour; sound) shows silk moths being cultivated in Bexley for export abroad. Mr L. Hugh Newman protects his moths from predators using muslin bags attached to a bush to hide them. A young boy looks at large silk moths on a pot plant: a Tree of Heaven Silk moth from China, a Giant Oak Silk moth from North America, Moon moths from the Indian Himalayas, a Canadian Bulls Eye moth. The young boy watches Mr Newman as he prepares dead moths for storage and display, including the Madagascar moth.
