Hey Rayon, don't scare much about sun because certain creams that protect you from him is available in our market. You can make use of the and enjoy the beauty around us.

I love butterflies! They are so beautiful! I used to like only the colorful day butterflies, but now I also like their night cousins, moths. When I was young, we went to a place in the country where there were lots of butterflies. They were not as beautiful as others I have seen later in my life in other countries, but I have a special fondness for them.

Mexico and Brasil are countries with awesome butterflies. Check them at a search engine. They are out of this world.

hi marguicha I am in Southern Calif and one year while I was wor king in the library I saw a huge swarm of Monarch butterflies and was told they were migrating to Mexico. It was so interesting to watch them as they moved across the library center and on onto their way to Mexico.also very pretty too.

Well, while I begin to love and respect every living creature, and therefore also the butterflies! The animal world is very charming. Then just butterflies, with their colors, bringing a breath of joy forever! W nature!

Hello alberello, I also respect all the animals and birds. The earth is not just for the humans it is for all the living creatures here. This is the main reason why I love butterflies a lot .

Yes they one of the greatest creative from God. But nowadays they are criticized by men. Instead of saving them, they go on disturbing them. I could say that if man is continuing the same, there may not anymore butterflies in the future.

I love butterflies too! When I was a child we had many butterflies at my grandparent's village! I was visiting their house for the summer and sometimes during spring and I was playing with the butterflies! They had many different colours and some of them were bigger that others! The ones that I loved were small and purple and they liked a specific kind of flower that we had at our yard :) Nice memories!

Hi thewonderboy, I enjoy watching butterflies since my childhood. Like ants they are diligent insects too, busy collecting nectar amongst blooming flowers. I never realized that the ugly and disgusting worm, actually it's the young of the beautiful butterfly until I was told in one of my nursery days Be persistent and work hard like a butterfly Happy posting

Me love butterflies Whenever I see one I always put a smile on my face. They are just the most harmless creatures for me. I always feel the excitement whenever I get the chance to be in one of the butterfly sanctuaries. I even had a big butterfly in my hand one time and took a picture of it because I was so amazed that it wasn't afraid of me and didn't fly off.

Fine yaar .. Yes they are valuable as well as beautiful. Nowadays butterflies are facing so many problems due to pollution and all. We must stop them to save them.

Hi Wonderboy, I never played with the butterflies in childhood but i have always loved butterflies due to their color.I don't think there would be a single person who would say that he/she does not like butterflies.Whenever i am in to the garden i see lot of kids running after them to trap them i don't like it as in the process butterflies may get hurt so we must not do that.

Yes its hard to stop kids but may be all kids do it but they realize it when they grow old.I never used to do it even when i was a kid as my mother used to scold me badly if used to see me doing this anywhere.

My cousins also used to do the same kind of activities. They try to run behind them and hurt them. I had warned them never to do so and I reminded that they are also living ones and they can be hurt if we try to catch them. What did you do at those kids which you saw in front of you ?
• United States

I agree. I never let my kids catch any kind of bug. If we see it we look at it, observe it, admire it and that's it. Bugs are not put on this earth to solely entertain children, that annoys me when parents let kids play with them. They have this bug catcher thing in a toy store and it infuriates me, I always push it to the back.

Don't you see the butterflies in your garden ? I have a good garden with flowers and I found two or more in each of the day. I think I am too lucky.

I'm like some psycho nut when I see a butterfly. I'm actually embarrassing I think. I'm like, kids kids! a butterfly, look! I cant help it, I just get excited because you don't see them often and they are so beautiful. I'm worse with hummingbirds. You really wouldn't even want to be around me when I see one.
• United States
19 Jun 12
Haha, I love hummingbirds they are so cute, they were my paps favorite animal i think thats why i like them so much we were really close, he passed away when i was 10 from cancer. But, i know he is still looking out for me up above.

Oh I'm so sorry music and I'm sure he is looking out for you. I feed everything. Birds, squirrels, possums, skunks. I even feed our slugs, I'm a big sucker.

I do love butterflies as well but definitely prefer the yellow and colorful ones. I'm not into butterflies with dark colors, since I feel like they're some kind of bad omen. Anyway, I love butterflies and I get excited when I see them. Lately, I haven't seen much butterflies around, well especially since I'm in the city. I remember a book I once read about the symbolism that butterflies can actually portray in one's life. Some often relate butterflies to the idea or virtue of hope. After reading that book, I can't help but think that every time I see a butterfly around, something good will happen to me today.
