Hidden Algae Butterfly

I spend my days napping on the tall trees surrounding my hidden pond. When I wake I take to flight, gliding the expanse of woods as the sun begins to set. The lingering shadows travel with me, growing until they cover the forest floor.

As night spreads across the darkening sky and the stars come to life, a gentle trickle of rain begins to fall. The droplets bounce leaf to leaf, eventually reaching my overgrown pond. As the ripples expand and merge, I dip down to the surface to join them in their delicate dance.

As the gentle sprinkle becomes a stronger pour from the clouds above, I begin my favourite pastime - basking in the rain. I stretch myself wide, allowing as many of the raindrops to bounce against my wings as possible. It's relaxing to allow yourself to become one with the storm around you.

Many species of butterflies that migrate thousands of miles south in the fall do not return to their previous summer residences. One autumn a few clever butterflies devised a plan to make the long trip back home so they could be reunited with their friends again next year. The butterflies stitched a map of each leg of the journey, updating it whenever they stopped at a rest stop. A single strand of silk from their silkworm cousins kept the map securely attached to their abdomens.

After a long winter in sunny Mexico the butterflies studied the map carefully, took a big sip of nectar from their favorite flower, and off they went. Imagine the surprise of all their friends back home when they returned the following summer! The garden was abuzz with tales of their amazing journey. The butterflies’ stories were so inspirational that they all decided they wanted to experience that kind of epic road trip for themselves. Year after year, they planned destinations further and further away so they could challenge each other to set a new long-distance record.
