My e-concept scintillessentialism reminds me of the concept of the Butterfly Effect; the idea that the smallest of changes can have massive effects, that the flap of a butterfly's wings can create a hurricane (Butterfly effect n.d.). For that reason I decided on an image of a butterfly covered in pollen, to highlight one of the important roles these tiny creatures play: the propagation and regulation of plant species (Korpella 2018).
