A Lovely Visitor

It has been almost the whole day since I had this lovely visitor. The butterfly is accompanying me while teaching online. In my country, some old folks believed that having a butterfly in the house meant a deceased loved one was visiting his or her family. So, I am assuming that it could be either my mom or dad. Do you have any beliefs like this?

This is moth, not a butterfly. We do not have this belief.

You are right. I had checked it closely. It is at the ceiling.

@LadyDuck It means that I was not visited with one of my loved ones in heaven. I agree that it is a moth.

@Shavkat Moths are typically smaller than the butterflies and less colorful.

It's a very nice butterfly, but I'm afraid it's just a butterfly

I sometimes contradict the beliefs.

It's beautiful. I know several people who believe there are signs that someone who passed is visiting. It might not be a physical thing, but something takes place that brings that missing person to mind and they believe that person has caused it to happen. I think it's possible.

We have had butterflies flying around in the house but never gave it a thought

It's okay if they roam around outdoors. We do not have a belief in this situation, only a butterfly that enters the house.

I respect that. Most young ones are not into our beliefs now.
