morpho release

 

swirling the greenhouse, elusive blue

ringed eyes in formation watching from closed wings

sipping on papaya

 

(by marcia waterway)

red admirals

 

a butterfly storm

fluttering north with the spring

silent migration

 

fractal payback

 

just a hurricane

crossing an island can move

a butterfly’s wings

 

fall colours

 

monarch butterflies

have flown off to Mexico

to turn trees orange

 

metamorphosis

 

how do the wings form

on caterpillars long and sleek

without so much as buds?

butterfly wings

 

 

the colour and pattern of butterfly wings are made up of thousands of tiny scales

those scales are worn off and lost over the life of the butterfly

where do they go? and what would the earth look like if they all just piled up?

 

journey into the unknown

 

a caterpillar

starts out across the pavement

does it realize?
