From my youth up I never liked the city.
I never forgot the mountains where I was born.
The world caught me and harnessed me
And drove me through dust, thirty years away from home.
Migratory birds return to the same tree.
Fish find their way back to the pools where they were hatched.
I have been over the whole country,
And I have come back at last to the garden of my childhood.
My farm is only ten acres.
The farm house has eight or nine rooms.
Elms and willows shade the back garden.
Peach trees stand by the front door.
The village is out of sight.
You can hear dogs bark in the alleys,
And cocks crow in the mulberry trees.
When you come through the gate into the court
You will find no dust or mess.
Peace and quiet live in every room.
I am content to stay here the rest of my life.
At last I have found myself.
— Tao Yuan Ming (Tao Qian) Chinese, 365-427

Wondering if the turtle derives any benefit from this activity or whether this is more akin to humans being bitten by mosquitoes.
Same. What is the symbiosis here? The turtle is clearly not only cooperating but holding it’s head at an optimal position. Maybe it dries the eyes and causes the production of more moisture which causes the cleaning of the eyes out from particulate matter that can get under the inner (under water) or outer eyelid of the turtle. Maybe the butterflies clear the corners and edges of the lids from debris and such.
His creation is interesting.
Yup, giving up hallucinogens was a good decision.
How do we know they are tears? Could be something else.
