Four Butterflies

All the color went to the wings.

A blossoming branch drawn in quiet faded sepia — and four butterflies wearing every drop of color in the plate: deep sapphire, shimmering emerald, a teal mosaic, and one caller in formal black and cream.

The old plate-makers knew this trick well: paint the branch in whispers so the wings can sing. And these wings have secrets worth the stage. The big sapphire one carries no blue pigment at all — the surface of a morpho's wing folds light itself into that glowing blue, which is why it seems lit from within and shifts as she moves. The others wear their color the honest way, in scales laid like roof tiles, thousands to a wing. And here is the gentlest fact of all: a butterfly tastes with her feet — so every landing on a blossom is a sip and a hello at once. Four visitors on one branch. The branch keeps quiet about its luck.
