They emerge as fragile, vulnerable creatures, yet they possess an unimaginable freedom – the freedom to fly, the ability to literally suck the nectar out of life.

I remember always being fascinated by the life of butterflies – how they start off as tiny plant bound creatures inching and eating their way through a relatively monotonous existence, only ever concerned with survival.
