Flutterby?
Animagus with a taste for Butter?
Zuni Harbinger of Sunny Weather?
Milk Thief?
Butter-coloured Fly?
Sulphur?
Orange?
White?
Today the traveler spied two yellow butterflies. Ubiquitous August ephemera, flitting about unseen amidst the visual white noise of summer; brief lives passing unnoticed in the cacophony of color and shimmering heat waves of the highways and parking lots.
A thousand generations of cabbage whites and cloudless sulphurs have traversed this land; planting the seed of a thousand more among the radishes and clover.
Are there fewer this year than last, or haven't we noticed?
