The fact they got the butterfly wings right, and didn’t default to dead and on display shoes such great attention to detail. https://www.emilydamstra.com/please-enough-dead-butterflies/

I'm looking through https://www.c82.net/naturalists-library/illustrations and all the illustrations seems to be of non-dissected animals/insects, at the illustration themselves. Of course, impossible to know if the illustration was drawn from a dead or alive specimen, but none of them seems based on anything picked apart as far as I can tell. As an example, all the drawn butterflies seems to be drawn as if they were alive, not dead (https://www.emilydamstra.com/please-enough-dead-butterflies/).

Sadly it looks like it will be a dead monarch butterfly https://www.emilydamstra.com/please-enough-dead-butterflies/

> The drawing shows the long tentacles as you could see them on a dead cuttlefish. As I have said, in the living cuttlefish you can see them only for a fraction of a second Yeah: stop drawing dead butterflies https://www.emilydamstra.com/please-enough-dead-butterflies/ Once you've seen the pattern, you see the same issue with other art. I bought a biology style painting because I liked the intentional dead-animal style (both a bird and some insects).

That is a dead butterfly [0] being reanimated, not a live butterfly flying [0]: https://www.emilydamstra.com/please-enough-dead-butterflies/

Reminder that most picturesque images of butterflies are of dead ones, including the emoji! https://www.emilydamstra.com/please-enough-dead-butterflies/

Unrelated to engineering but the recent rebrand to a dead butterfly logo[1][2][3] may be off brand for a platform wishing to communicate a more open, social Internet built on first principles and scientific rigor.

I'm seeing it score 1 out of 2 on the dead butterfly scale. https://www.emilydamstra.com/please-enough-dead-butterflies/

It's a little hard to tell because the butterflies are flapping and rotating, but I think your algorithm is sometimes generating dead butterflies. https://emilydamstra.com/please-enough-dead-butterflies/

The images on the header with the infrared seem to be using dead butterflies. A very interesting read: https://emilydamstra.com/news/please-enough-dead-butterflies/

That’s a dead butterfly. https://emilydamstra.com/news/please-enough-dead-butterflies/

I really enjoyed this. It is very similar to "Please, enough with the dead butterflies!" [0] I'd like to see a list of everything like this. Similar to Awesome falsehood [1] but not quite. 0: https://emilydamstra.com/news/please-enough-dead-butterflies/ ( HN 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14460013 HN 2: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21788356 ) 1: https://github.com/kdeldycke/awesome-falsehood

I think the intended reference is http://emilydamstra.com/news/please-enough-dead-butterflies/ (because of the wing positioning).
