Oh, of course, it symbolises the flames of hell, and that moth is the one from Silence of the Lambs! Now I get it!

...I don't know what that means, really. Three light fixtures, one curvy two straight, a weird illuminated background, and a moth drawn towards the light? (It's a moth, I think. Butterflies at rest fold their wings up.)

Actually, butterflies do flap/stretch their wings when they land sometimes, so it could be either one. The pic might have been taken with the butterflies wings in mid stretch.

Hmm... 3 lights... holy number... trinity (not necessarily "the" Trinity)

The triangle they form kinda reminded me of the triangles on the map of Murpha project locations, but it's probably just coincidence.

Perhaps this means "like moths to a flame."

Moths are attracted to the light of the flame, and when they fly into it, they die.

Perhaps this is what Wongmo does to his followers?

Yep, it's a moth, not a butterfly.

Isn't this this new too, or am I horribly out-of-date?

I think I found our butterfly Very Happy

The small tortoiseshell - (Aglais urticae):

We can't see the blue on his wings because he's in an orange light.

A unique feature of the Nymphalinae family of butterflies is that they land with their wings flat and open, as opposed to most butterflies that land with their wings folded above them.

So can we safely say that Mr. Estaban is from Europe as this seems to be a European butterfly or is that map only of Europe and the butterfly is worldwide?
