Standing tall in vibrant hues, a treasured vessel of delicate blooms, cradling all that remains and natural beauty with dignity and grace- Quite simply, this is a?

I start as a creature that creeps and eats plenty of food, sleeps in a cocoon and end as a winged beauty. I love nectar and come in many different colors.

Give me food, and I will live. Give me water, and I will die

The ultimate limit on how fast you may go

The sun has dipped, yet light remains, a soft farewell in golden veins. Not dark, not bright, I softly stay, the closing breath of a fading day.
