I chose to quilt the main pillow and the pocket in different designs- the pocket has a fun loopy pattern to echo the butterfly paths illustrated in the fabric, and the main pillow has a diagonal grid pattern. I love how both turned out!
What a gorgeous array of butterflies! We visited a butterfly garden in St. Martin a few years ago and were utterly enthralled. I saw a solitary butterfly in our yard the other day and realized with great sadness that they have become much less common here. I fear all the insecticides and pesticides are killing them off. ?
I found the site where there were records of Pearl-bordered Fritillary from 20+ years ago. It is a butterfly hotspot, being south-facing and sheltered: quite a few flying. I was elated to see a fritillary, but it turned out to be a Small Pearl-bordered, which are much more common and widespread in Scotland. The Pearl-bordered Fritillary is very picky - needs warm micro-habitats - and is much more local.

Sweet dreams, dear diary. I can't wait to tell you about mine. It is true that my life is lonely, I guess some people would even call it tragic. But when I dream, everything can happen. The world becomes a beautiful, magical place where I am somehow bigger than myself. I love that feeling. I can't wait to fall asleep tonight!
There is no doubt that the Palestinian struggle for true and complete liberation will continue. There is a similar certainty that Darwish will live on not only for Palestinians and other Arabs but as an iconic poet of resistance to many others worldwide. And it is true that usurped rights are not regained by poetry alone. But when Palestinians can return to their homeland, one hopes they will cherish Darwish, the poet whose words may have been the butterfly effect in a long and multifaceted struggle.
Although Scott-Stokes recognizes how boring a young sheltered lady's life might be, more context for Fountaine's adolescent loves and a better sense of her childhood collecting activity would have been appreciated, especially as she gained an unusual degree of acceptance by scientific societies, something Scott-Stokes discusses rather late in the biography. As an adolescent, Fountaine obviously saw her life filtered through her readings. Fountaine's infatuation with a curate reflects the "curatolatry" of the 1860s, discussed in such works as Charlotte Yonge's The Clever Woman of the Family (1865). Such contextualization would have placed the earlier diary entries in better perspective, especially as the diaries were rewritten from notes and provide the fuller picture Scott-Stokes promises in the introduction. It is also apparent from later comments that the Norfolk region where Fountaine grew up was an especially active butterfly collecting area; the impact of these collecting societies on her earlier life would have been of interest, as would the scientific connections of her extended family. The administrator of her legacy, her uncle Sir John Bennet Lawes, for example, founded the chemical fertilizer industry, but we learn nothing of that.
Combining multiple individually filmed footage into one image projected onto a screen inside the exhibition space, the work describes and reconstructs the time spent by the artist from different perspectives. By employing such techniques, Aoyagi reexamines the characteristics of the diary as a means of accounting, and continues her pursuit of contemporary narrative styles that treat video devices in a perfectly natural way.
AKITO KAWAHARA: And this unusual brown butterfly sort of lands near the road. I was like, oh, my gosh. I've read about these things, but I've never caught one. So my hands were trembling. I had my butterfly net in my hand. I ran up to it, and I caught it.
DANIEL: And conserve the flowers and plants that rely on butterfly pollination. So to piece together that family tree, Kawahara worked with close to 90 colleagues from six continents to collect DNA from all kinds of butterflies.
DANIEL: He nabbed a yellow sulphur butterfly right outside his office in Florida, but he went way farther than that - the Andes, the Amazon rainforest, the dry savannas of Mozambique, back to Tokyo. All he and his team needed was a tiny portion of one of each butterfly's six legs.
DANIEL: The bulk of the butterflies they studied were pinned specimens in museum collections. All told, they analyzed the DNA from 92% of all butterfly groups, which allowed them to zero in on where butterflies began some hundred million years ago.
DANIEL: Dispersing in waves across Asia, Australia, India, Africa and finally Europe, forming the kaleidoscope of 19,000 butterfly species we know today. This work's published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution. Adriana Briscoe, an evolutionary biologist at UC Irvine who wasn't involved in the research, says it'll be worth analyzing the few remaining groups of butterflies.

They then likely fluttered their way to South America, dispersing in waves across Asia, Australia, India, Africa and finally Europe, forming the kaleidoscope of 19,000 butterfly species we know today.
