A portrait of a small life that is often forgotten

In a world so vast and bustling with activity, there's a small life that's often overlooked. They aren't large, unique animals, nor are they beautiful birds with melodious songs, but rather tiny, unassuming insects. Yet, if we take a moment to observe them, their simplicity holds many stories to absorb. These are sobering stories about time, persistence, and change. They live their lives with such peace.

Right at the top of a plant, a tiny caterpillar is busily examining every detail of a leaf. The way it examines the leaf suggests it's searching for the perfect one to make into a delicious snack. The caterpillar is incredibly beautiful, boasting a stunning combination of red, yellow, black, and white. Its tiny body, with its striking colors, seems to be flaunting its courage to the vast world. Its entire body is protected by long, fine hairs.

Not far from where the caterpillar was, a long-legged fly was practicing a dance. Judging by its slender body and long legs, this long-legged fly was indeed a perfect fit for a dancer. Her costume was also beautiful, black with a touch of brownish orange. Her eyes were maroon. Another striking aspect: the tips of her white feet, resembling Cinderella's glass slippers.

On another leaf, a tiny butterfly basks in the soft sunlight. Its appearance is no less beautiful than the long-legged flies and caterpillars above. Its greenish-brown color is accentuated by a few white spots on its wings. Its large, shiny black eyes blend perfectly with its surroundings.
