The Blue Pansy – A Flicker of Sky on Earth
Some creatures demand attention, their beauty impossible to ignore. Others exist in a delicate balance—revealing their brilliance only in the right light.
The Blue Pansy Butterfly is one of them.
With wings that flash a brilliant, electric blue, it moves through the open landscapes of Africa, Asia, and Australia, thriving where others fade. But this butterfly carries a secret—its color is an illusion, a trick of light, a masterpiece of nature’s quiet brilliance.
How does a butterfly that shimmers like the sky also vanish into the earth?
What can its survival in the most unexpected places teach us about resilience?
And why is its fleeting beauty a reflection of the way we move through the world?
Join Adrian Adair, The King of Butterflies, as we chase the light of the Blue Pansy—nature’s hidden flicker of wonder.
