How are all these people stepping on butterflies? It my experience it’s hard to even really get close to them because they are well, flying.
Sometimes, they will land on you. Sometimes, they will not leave even if you try to get them to crawl off onto a nearby bush. I think that if any butterflies are being stepped on, it is those who develop sudden and inexplicable attachments to humans. I know about this, having become an object of a butterflys affections while visiting a butterfly exhibit.
