The crew are up on Marsden Moor but all is not as it seems.  Ranger Rae, Roxy, Mole, Dragonfly are surrounded by the sneakiest creatures on the planet – animals who pretend to be other animals.

The world seems topsy turvy as hoverflies pretend to be wasps, butterflies are disguised as eyes and is that an actual hummingbird?

There’s only one thing for it with all these performers about… to form a new pop band - The Pollinators!
