The '''common butterfly''' is a [[bug]] in the {{SER}} that appears in all games to date. It can be found flying around the [[town]] or island at varying times of day and year between games. In {{WW}}, {{CF}}, and {{NL}}, it can only spawn near [[flower]]s.

 

Aside from its color, the common butterfly is identical in appearance to the [[yellow butterfly]]. In {{NH}}, it can be caught throughout the year outside of mid to late [[summer]].

When the player is donating it to the museum in {{PG|nolink}}, Blathers will say the following:

{{Blathers|PG|There's an old saying among some of my contemporaries: "Butterflies are beautiful, yet moths are monstrous." Well, if you were to ask me, I'd say they were all the same! By which I mean disgusting! Truly hoo-rrific, wot wot!}}

The common butterfly can be found fluttering around the flowers in the central display in the insect room after donation.

===In {{WW|short|nolink}}===

The common butterfly appears in the first room of the insect exhibit, fluttering above the flowers on the right hand side of the room.

{{Blathers|CF|If one were to look closely at a common butterfly, one might notice that it's covered in fine hairs... But WHY would one look closely?! Blecccch! Creepiness aside, one also gets icky powder on one's hands by touching them... Not for me, eh wot?}}

==Real-world information==

[[File:Common Butterfly Real.jpg|left|200px|thumb|A cabbage white butterfly]]

The small cabbage white, ''Pieris rapae'', also known as the cabbage white, is a common species of butterfly that can be found throughout Europe, Northern Africa and Asia. They are a creamy white and feature two black spots on each wing which darken during the summer months. The caterpillars of the cabbage white, as the name suggests, like to eat cabbages and brussel sprouts, and so therefore are considered a pest by gardeners. The butterflies found in game are all female- only female cabbage whites have two black spots on their wings.
