close-ups and some butterfly yapping under the cut

took some liberty interpreting his wings ands his eyebrows as i stated on here earlier😏 gives him split eyebrows bc 1. it kind of looks like he has them in the manga 2. he’s an aquarius 3. it’s moth-core 4. it’s cool.

i love butterflies. their species and placements also matter :) butterfly namez from left to right:
[i]🦋 Chazara Persephone
🦋 Agrias Narcissus
🦋 Leptosia Nina, the Psyche
🦋 Zerene Eurydice
🦋 Lycaena He[/i]rmes
seems like everyone is understandable except maybe Narcissus, unless you read Homer, the hymn to Demeter, where the flower was kind of used as a lure for Persephone:

[i]It [the narcissus] was a wondrous thing in its splendor. To look at it gives a sense of holy awe to the immortal gods as well as mortal humans. It has a hundred heads growing from the root up. Its sweet fragrance spread over the wide skies up above. And the earth below smiled back in all its radiance. So too the churning mass of the salty sea.
[Persephone] was filled with a sense of wonder, and she reached out with both hands to take hold of the pretty plaything. And the earth, full of roads leading every which way, opened up under he[/i]r.
(homeric hymn to demeter. 10-16. translated by gregory nagy)

🐛The caterpillar species is also chosen intentionally, although untagged in the piece. It’s a Papilio Polyxenes’ caterpillar, aka parsley worm for feeding on parsley before turning into butterflies. I read books state parsley was dedicated to Persephone ands used in the funerary cult. still looking for the original source though

aight yapping over for neow. just look at him
