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.
