A few days later, my niece, Emma, sent me a photo of one on the same flowers I’d been chasing. Her image captured what I’d missed: the stillness between movements, the beauty in patience. This butterfly became a small reminder for me that presence often reveals what rushing past can’t.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"author-d-1gg9uz65z1iz85zgdz68zmqkz84zo2qoxw4nqoz82zsz70z5gz83ziz84zc4z71zz80z7rz77zsz65zqnyqz77zpz90zz71zk\"\u003eThe species I’ve painted here, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"author-d-1gg9uz65z1iz85zgdz68zmqkz84zo2qoxw4nqoz82zsz70z5gz83ziz84zc4z71zz80z7rz77zsz65zqnyqz77zpz90zz71zk\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpeyeria aglaja\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"author-d-1gg9uz65z1iz85zgdz68zmqkz84zo2qoxw4nqoz82zsz70z5gz83ziz84zc4z71zz80z7rz77zsz65zqnyqz77zpz90zz71zk\"\u003e—known as the Dark Green Fritillary—is native to Europe and Asia, a close relative of the fritillaries that frequent Pennsylvania fields. Its name is a bit misleading—its wings are more golden-orange than green, patterned with black spots and silver markings beneath.
