Pictures of “bleeding” butterflies then again refer to Madama Butterfly’s quote: “Dicon ch’oltre mare se cade in man dell’uom, ogni farfalla da uno spillo è trafitta ed in tavola infinita!” (They say in your country; If a butterfly is caught by man, He’ll pierce its heart with a needle, And then leave it to perish!).
