The Brimstone – A Flame in the Frost

Some butterflies dazzle with color. Others with speed.

But the Brimstone Butterfly captivates with something quieter: its return.

Often considered the very first butterfly to appear after winter, the Brimstone rises from beneath leaf litter and ivy, its wings the color of melted sunlight. Long before flowers bloom, long before the trees awaken, it takes to the air—a flicker of gold against a landscape still dreaming in gray.

Why does it emerge so early, braving the final breath of frost?

How does it survive when others sleep?

And what does this ancient traveler whisper about hope, rebirth, and waiting for the right moment to fly?

Join Adrian Adair, The King of Butterflies, as we follow the quiet resilience of the Brimstone Butterfly—a living flame in the fading cold.
