Butterflies undergo one of nature's most dramatic transformations, metamorphosing from caterpillar to chrysalis to winged insect over weeks or months. Their delicate wings are covered in overlapping scales that create color through both pigment and light refraction, allowing them to shimmer and shift. These insects play crucial roles as pollinators and serve as indicators of ecosystem health across the globe.
