Adrian Adair

There are those who simply admire butterflies—and then there are those who seem to move with them, understanding their silent language, following their unseen paths.

Adrian Adair is one of the latter.

The creator and voice behind Gleam of Butterflies, Adrian doesn’t just study butterflies—he listens to them. He traces their flight through myth and time, unearthing the stories they carry on their wings. With each episode, he takes listeners on a journey through forgotten legends, poetic symbolism, and the quiet miracles of nature.

His voice is both a guide and a whisper—leading through the gilded shimmer of the Blue Morpho, the spectral mystery of the Black Swallowtail, the eternal migration of the Monarch. He speaks of butterflies as spirits, as omens, as echoes of transformation, revealing what cultures across history have always known: these creatures are more than delicate wings. They are messages, waiting to be understood.

Some people chase butterflies. Adrian walks among them.

Follow the flight, and step into the wonder.
