Yellow Butterfly Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

I caught a yellow butterfly! Shouldn't all BUTTERflies be yellow?

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  Allow me to enlighten you... The yellow butterfly is named for its yellow wings. Need I say more?

  If I must, then allow me to note that the female yellow butterfly can lay up to 600 eggs at a time! Bleech!

 And their creepy crawly caterpillars just love to chomp on clover plants.

  A recipe for disaster, I say. Just imagine reaching for a four-leaf clover, only to touch a larva instead! Yuck! The worst of luck!
