I did a brief search and you were correct about the Slavic associations with vampires and butterflies. There's also an Aztec death goddess who is a butterfly, Ītzpāpalōtl, so more goth butterfly associations.

In Spain, There's a Species of Butterfly that Drinks the Blood of Freshly Dead Animals. It's Called the Madrilenial Butterfly.

As a goth and biologist who's enjoyed reading a Shakespeare's play today, I am delighted your vlog ended up being my curiosity cabinet. 💀

I love these types of videos.

You're out and about, being yourself, and exposing us (your viewers) to what the world has to offer. A day in the life of a Goth. I prefer these over haul videos and makeup/style videos. These make you stand out among the influx of superficial content that most "goth influencers" are releasing these days.

In Slavic vampire folklore, vampires can sometimes appear as butterflies, which may reflect an earlier belief that butterflies symbolize departed souls.

2:30 That's some kind of Nepenthes, also known as pitcher plant. It's a carnivorous plant. :) I love them. I have a Nepenthes Gaya myself which is one of the easiest ones to care for. When it's happy it sprouts those pitchers which contains a sap that intoxicates insects, causing them to fall in. Inside the pitchers are fine hair facing downwards that prevents the insect from climbing out.

I'm so damn hyped for this docco! I have no idea how you're managing to do it all on your own and with bubs in tow! You're one strong woman 💪

The way you film shows your poetic perspective of things and I love it

2:30 You’ll be pleased to learn that these are pitcher plants, a type of carnivorous plant. These appear to be nepenthes. Pitcher plants produce a sweet smell to lure insects in and then slowly digest them. The insects provide them with the nitrogen that is usually lacking in their native soil.

Oh I am so happy to see you doing so well and being just as lovely as ever. I've been watching for about a decade, and you are always just so refreshing from all the nonsense in the world ❤

I don’t know why I was getting flashbacks to that viral video of the Irish family trying to get the bat out of their house 😂

[Secchan]

Medical history is morbidly interesting! I assume you've been to the Surgeons' Hall in Edinburgh? The gallery of preserved organs in jars is weirdly fascinating

[Witchyone]

That cemetery was absolutely beautiful ❤

[samanthaerulastiellewis]

That museum was amazing! Thank you for taking us along

[katastrophicfailure]

This was fantastic, loved it all, smart to forget the makeup, the humidity in the butterfly garden is so hard to take! Loved the museum and that cemetary was so so beautiful. Your kiddo is 😍

[jesvicious]

Good video and was nice to see old medical history and to see little Monty enjoying it as well 🙂 that “more!” He shouted with the pizza was adorable too

[janiebrossmann]

Your children are growing up doing such great things and visiting cool places 🖤 Your little man is absolutely adorable 🖤

[annetendo]

You pronounced "Fachwerkhäuser" (=half-timbered houses) perfectly. Warm greetings from Germany. 🖤🖤🖤🥰

[FullMetalWeirdo]

Blue Morphos are my absolute favorite type of butterfly, I love them SO much

[SouthernGothicYT]
