One by one the crystals chamber shatter. Rising the future generations of the new life to be. Swallowtails, Morphos, and Monarchs awaken from the shards of evolutionary change. Dazzling the world with the iridescence of their color and striking beauty. With their glamor and their flutter they leave him and the world in awe.
