    I don’t understand the first 2 panels. Are there myths that butterflies cause tornadoes, and ladybugs bring luck?

      The butterfly effect refers to chaos theory where all events are interconnected no matter how small, so a butterfly flapping its wings in Tokyo could cause a tornado in the mid-west USA. The lady bug is pure myth about one landing on you bringing good luck, no idea what specific culture/myth that’s based on though.
