Butterfly Lands On Flutist’s Nose During Performance – She Carries On [Video]

Not being one for insects or creepy crawlies, I am amazed at how composed this woman stays during what I can only call an emotional ordeal. But she rocks it...

It’s almost like they paid the butterfly to do this. Or orchestrated it somehow (see what I did there?).

The beautiful sounds of Yukie Ota’s flute definitely played a part in the little guy landing on her head during the Carl Nielsen International Flute Competition. She didn’t flinch at all, and carried on playing her sweet music, even as it moved onto her nose.

Bless.

And kudos to her. I would have run off screaming. Because butterflies are just colourful moths. Shudder.
