Notes

• Butterflies spawned by a statue will disappear into puffs of smoke upon trying to catch them.
• The spawn rate for Butterflies is decided at random when a day begins. As such, some days will have countless butterflies, while others will have almost none.
• Keep in mind that Butterfly Jars cannot be uncrafted, thus once you put a butterfly in a jar you cannot use it as Bait for Fishing.
