Scattered across the American landscape, from the desert Southwest to Pennsylvania’s riverbanks, thousands of mysterious images have been waiting for millennia to share their secrets.

Picture this: a creature weighing less than a gram somehow navigates thousands of miles across an entire continent, arriving at a mountain forest it has never seen before.
