"Morpho" by Lynn Hutchinson Lee

At sunrise the new mother awoke to the trilling and whooping of birds, and then a new sound: the crash of a tree to the forest floor. Then another. The faint shouts of men, distant grind of machinery. A silhouette appeared from the place of these voices, and she sickened. The butterflies, though, were unaware, and fluttered hungrily from tree to tree.
