In-Game Text

"I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man."

Chuang Tzu, (389 - 286 BC)

How interesting they are, our winged insect friends. Butterflies flit and flutter, grow from husk and squirming worm to be the object of song and poem. Lepidopterology allows for the safe collection of butterflies and, more importantly, how to house them! Usage of a butterfly house allows them to pollinate in a radius around its location.

About

Butterflies cam be found flying around all Light biomes and Moths and Glowworms can be found flying around all Darkness biomes. Equipping a Bugcatcher's Net icon.png Bugcatcher's Net allows you to click on and catch Any Butterfly icon.png Any Butterflys, Any Glowworm icon.png Any Glowworm, and Any Moth icon.png Any Moths. Catching Butterflies and Moths removes a small amount of Insanity.

Butterfly & Moth Pollination

A Butterfly Conservatory icon.png Butterfly Conservatory, when Any Butterfly icon.png Any Butterflys or Any Moth icon.png Any Moths are placed inside, will pollinate nearby Fruit Tree icon.png Fruit Trees during an Everbloom icon.png Everbloom. For each unique Butterfly added the Butterfly Conservatory will gain 5% efficiency, each unique Moth will add 10%. A Butterfly Conservatory has a longer range than a Bee Skep icon.png Bee Skep but cannot transfer Purity onto the Fruit Trees.
