In Search of the Butterflies
National Geographic Explorer Gerard Talavera looks up at a painted lady butterfly at the Institut Botànic de Barcelona in Spain. Each year, painted ladies migrate between Kenya and Norway, crossing deserts, seas, mountains, and numerous international borders. Talavera's research helped prove the longest butterfly migration—a journey of 4,300 miles in less than a month, one of the longest nonstop flights ever recorded for individual insects. The image is featured in Lucas Foglia's photo book, Constant Bloom.Limitless with Chris Hemsworth
