The jasio is the largest and most beautiful butterfly in Italy. It is still a mystery why it has established itself in this geographic area, since the Charaxes genus is usually found only in the tropics. Also from the tropics come the jasio's splendid colors and magnificent wing pattern. The documentary poetically illustrates the biological cycle of this butterfly.
