Description The Quantum Weather Butterfly ("papilio tempestae") is a butterfly which has evolved the curious trait of localized weather control. This is used as a defense mechanism and a sexual characteristic. The insect is yellow, with Mandelbrot patterned wings: these wings have an infinite wing perimeter, but only a finite area. A reference to the butterfly effect, it features mainly in Interesting Times.

Name change suggested by

More experiments with butterflies - this one however is far more complex than it looks. Took me an hour and a half to make minus rendering time, the longest I've ever spent on the transform editor ever. Was trying to make a butterfly with designs on the wing and less transparencies. The small bit in front was an attempt to get the antennae out, but that stuck to the main body like two sticky things in a pod.

I wonder if I should move to moths now

Actually I don't have a fav food anymore. I mean If I'm in the mood for something and it's easy to find or cook then I'll have it otherwise I eat anything. It's difficult to be choosy when you don't have options
