Scientifically, entomologists have stated that butterflies do not feel pain because their nervous system do not have pain receptors. Inappropriately catching and framing a butterfly can be cruel just by their treatment alone, especially if they are injured or starved in the process.

Butterfly Glasses Frames Butterfly glasses, known for their lenses shape that resembles a butterfly, whose wings are big enough when spread, to cover the frame from above. The simple oversized butterfly glasses have large but gentle winging out of the frames that suit a variety of face shapes.

Butterflies are beautiful to look at, and collectors enjoy preserving multiple species to admire their wing patterns. If you’ve found a dead butterfly or captured one that you want to save, you can either pin it in a display case or encapsulate it in a clear epoxy resin.

If your butterfly is freshly dead, but you can’t get to it right away, put it in a glassine envelope and pop it in the freezer for a few days until you can get to it. The freezer will keep it fresh.

Collectors of butterflies, whether as mature naturalists seeking to unravel nature’s secrets, or as amateurs and children in the thrall of the insects, are not the dangers. Let the children run freely, waving their nets, through the woods, fields, and meadows, or any place where the butterflies might fly.

According to entomologists, butterflies do not feel pain. Although butterflies know when they are touched, their nervous system does not have pain receptors that registers pain as we know it. At our farm, we keep our breeding butterflies in screened gardens/rooms we call apartments.

Do Butterflies bite? Aside from the fact that Butterflies eat nectar, the vast majority of butterflies do not bite. Butterflies do not possess biting mouthparts that are able to sink into any prey. Their mouthparts are long and tubular in shape, called a proboscis, and is designed for sucking the nectar out of flowers.

While touching a butterfly’s wings may not kill it immediately, it could potentially speed up the fading of the colors on the butterfly’s wings, wiping out patterns that are used to protect the butterfly from predators. Touching the butterfly’s wings could potentially result in a shorter than expected life.
