Butterflies are tiny miracles of transformation. They start life as eggs, turn into crawling caterpillars, then seal themselves inside a chrysalis before emerging as winged wonders. With scales that shimmer in colors and patterns, butterflies are living art in motion. They “taste” with their feet, sip nectar from flowers, and can live from a week to a year depending on the species. Monarchs famously migrate thousands of miles, passing the journey from one generation to the next. With their short, magical lives, butterflies symbolize change, beauty, and the joy of new beginnings.
