The resulting effects of a nuclear accident on some butterflies:

This is really sad. :(

Although, what is much sadder is to think if it can do this to butterflies, what can this type of accident do to the rest of mankind and plants and animals. :blank:

That accident is going to have a huge impact on the region for many, many years to come. There's no telling what kind of damage it has done to the entire eco-system of the area. Scientists will undoubtedly be finding more terrible outcomes like this for a long time. I just hope the results remain limited to that small area, and aren't spread to other regions by surviving animals.
