The painted lady butterfly is known for her long-distance migrations, from under the African sun to the Arctic circle.

She follows invisible paths, traced by ancestors she’ll never meet. Her flight is not a single-minded journey, but a team relay - a migration baton passed from wing to wing, generation to generation. Each successor inherits an instinct; an internal compass, led by light and whispering winds. By the time her descendants dance into the crisp cool air of the arctic circle, she has long returned to the earth. Her spirit lives on, her breath carried on the wind and her wisdom held in golden rays of light, guiding her family home. They too, will follow invisible paths, traced by ancestors they’ll never meet.
