Their radar shadow caused widespread panic, evoking everything from unknown weapons to aliens. Now they ghost down, shimmering and flamboyant, vivid patterns overwhelming the air.

We’re merely a wingbeat in their time.

Very uplifting
Loved it! Especially “Settle into welcoming flowers, elegant mouthparts uncurling, uncaring.”
I loved the way this put us humans in our place. Beautifully expressed.
Beautiful. Magnificent. :)
I love the magnificent and vivid imagery, You’ve managed too inject hope into an otherwise bleak situation–monarch butterflies especially are threatened with extinction. Thank you for this.
