Beatrice and Raymond

Change is as constant as the wind.

Follow Beatrice through changes in her life as she struggles to understand why the changes are happening and tries to grasp how the outcome could possibly be good. Her mother by her side provides some comfort, but it is Raymond, a worker ant, who comforts her the most. His uplifting words and promise of protection to stand by her side are what she needs to make it through the changes with flying colors!

We all struggle with accepting change. This story can serve as a reminder to anyone, no matter their age, that life is a journey with challenges and things beyond our control. The best thing we can do is look for the benefits and opportunities that change presents to us.

Beatrice means voyager through life.
Raymond means wise protector.

The Real Beatrice and Raymond
The Lycaenidae family of butterflies, sometimes referred to as gossamer-winged butterflies, have a mutual relationship with ants. While in the caterpillar stage of life, some species secrete a nectar-like substance for the ants to feed upon. In return for this food, the ants provide protection for the caterpillar from larger predators. More information on this family and varying species of this butterfly can be found at butterflywebsite.com.
