VIDEO
In her squeaky cute high-pitched five year-old's voice, full of wonder and charm, Violet says to the video camera capturing the moment live: "It's landed on my ....forehead!"
Her mom Christy Powell is a veteran staff horticulturist at the zoo, and the zoo cameraman borrowed Violet for her world video debut.
Watch the video again. That's why were here. Several times if you have the time. Just 15 seconds!
The still photograph of Violet that appeared on the front page of the San Diego Union Tribune in March 2018 is a good newspaper photo, but being a still photo there is no voice and there's no animated movement of Violet's expressive eyebrows or mouth. It's just a nice still photo.
But the video of Violet going full throttle "little girl delight" with no shyness or inhibitions is the real story here. See the video again.

The butterfly world will never be the same. Violet will never be the same. In her starring role in a 30 second video that has gone viral, she has made her mark on the world and put her voice forward as a charming advocate for butterflies around the globe, from California to Taiwan, from France to South Africa and Australia. Who knows, maybe even on the Moon!
Long live Violet Powell. Long may she dwell in the innocent world of childhood wonder and grace. Hers is the face of humankind, girlkind, delighted by nature and the natural world, colorful and surprising as it is. Let us all be mindful of Nature and do our best to protect and safeguard the ecology of our fragile planet.

The Monarch butterflies in my garden don't care who they perch on. I wonder if the ones that started as my caterpillars somehow recognise me. But Cocky doesn't like them coming near his cage. Keep the swan plants going for them.
