It was a typically cold, quiet January day, and the possibility of the new year--of new discoveries and new challenges--reawakened an old dream of hers: to see every Danish butterfly species in one year. At first, the goal felt impossible--Korsgaard knew almost nothing about butterflies--but she persevered, creating a color-coded tracking system that mapped butterfly regions and flight times with meticulous care. As the project developed, what was at first a simple exercise in discovery became an intimate reckoning with transformation and rebirth, the butterfly's fleeting existence knitting together beginnings, endings, and the life made in between.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n","brand":"Knopf Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51496190476566,"sku":"9798217208869","price":38.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0857\/9910\/8886\/files\/9798217208869.jpg?v=1783057148","url":"https:\/\/lusper.myshopify.com\/products\/the-butterfly-season-what-64-butterflies-taught-me-about-natures-great-mysteries-and-the-meaning-of-life","provider":"Lusperbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
