Butterflies in a meadow, Germany

Spring is just around the corner, and the scent of the first flowers is floating on the air. What better way to get ready for the warm weather to come than with this image of butterflies fluttering around a meadow in full bloom? Every butterfly is a natural wonder, with their unique patterns and vibrant colours. Nature seems to come to life when these insects are flapping their wings, filling the air with their elegant shapes. Found everywhere on Earth except Antarctica, there are over 18,000 species of butterflies. Starting life as caterpillars, they undergo a metamorphosis to become fully formed butterflies. Take a moment to contemplate the grace of butterflies, which remind us to appreciate the small things in life and to see the world with new eyes.
