The mourning cloak butterfly (Nymphalis antiopa) is a striking species recognized by its deep, velvety wings edged with pale yellow and dotted with blue spots. Found across North America, Europe, and Asia, it is one of the longest-living butterflies, often seen basking in the first warmth of spring after overwintering in tree bark or leaf litter. Its bold colors and resilience through the seasons make the mourning cloak a symbol of endurance, renewal, and the quiet beauty of transformation.
