Why do butterflies constantly fly towards light? Their instinctual pursuit of light is genetically ingrained. When observed for a long time, their flight movements create a fluttering on the retina, which can be digitized into countless small pixels. This species begins its journey with a transformation in a cocoon and continues to be reshaped, like the peppered moth that adapted to soot-covered walls by developing darker wings. In this ongoing metamorphosis, there may be a strange sense of calm as the instinctual becomes algorithmic flight paths.
