Scientists have traced the millions-year-old migration route of painted lady butterflies across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. A decade-long project tracked ten generations of butterflies, revealing their adaptability to climate change by altering their routes based on changing flower blooms. Photographer Lucas Foglia documented this journey, highlighting the butterflies' resilience and their parallel migration with humans seeking refuge, emphasizing the interconnectedness of human history and nature.
