Description

This Common Brimstone butterfly rests lightly on a pink Echinacea bloom, its wings folded like pale leaves kissed by sunlight. Fine veins glow gold at the edges, each line precise and fragile. The cone of the flower burns with orange and red, a striking crown beneath the butterfly’s still body. The petals stretch outward, soft and curved, holding the visitor as if in quiet offering.

The Common Brimstone butterfly shifts, antennae quivering in the warm air. Its legs grasp the petal edge, delicate yet steady. Around them, a haze of blossoms softens into gentle colour, greens and pinks melting into one another. The butterfly lingers, caught between flight and rest, its bright wings like new spring leaves against the summer bloom. In this fleeting stillness, every detail sharpens—the shimmer of light, the curve of petal, the fragile strength of its pose. It feels like a breath held by nature itself.
