==Donating to the museum==
[[File:Yellow and white.jpg|thumb|right|The Yellow and Common Butterflies in {{CF|short|nolink}}]]
As with all [[bug]]s and [[fish]] in the {{SER}}, the Yellow Butterfly can be donated to the [[museum]] by talking to [[Blathers]]. During each donation, he will enlighten the player to some information about the donation. Below are quotes from each game, on what he has to say;

===In {{PG|nolink}}===
[[Blathers]] has only a general response upon accepting butterflies for the [[museum]] in {{PG}}:
{{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 Yellow Butterfly can be found fluttering around the flowers in the central display in the insect room after donation.

===In {{WW|short|nolink}}===
Upon donation, [[Blathers]] the curator speaks of the Yellow Butterfly;
{{Blathers|WW|Butterflies are covered in "scales" that flake off like dust when touched, eh wot? Blech... The very thought makes my eyebrows itch unbearably... Anyhoo, I suppose that's neither here nor there...}}

As with other butterflies, the Yellow Butterfly can be found flapping around the flowers in the first room of the insect display.

===In {{CF|short|nolink}}===
Once again, Blathers will speak of the Yellow Butterfly in a rather horrified way:
{{Blathers|CF|We call them all yellow butterflies, but many subspecies of this insect exist, wot wot? Indeed, this fact makes them rather interesting to many researchers... What's more interesting to me is why anyone in their proper mind would take interest in these things.}}

In {{CF|short|nolink}}, the Yellow Butterfly appears flying around the flowers on the lower terrace of the insect room.

===In {{NL|short|nolink}}===
[[File:New_Leaf_Museum_Butterflies.jpg|200px|thumb|right|The Yellow Butterfly flying around the player in the museum in {{NL}}]]
Upon being donated, the butterfly can be found in the first room of the bug exhibit resting on flowers with the other butterflies. The exhibit has this to say about the Yellow Butterfly:
{{Blathers|NL|The yellow butterfly is similar to the common butterfly, with the two easily mistaken for one another. Males are more often a yellowish color, and females are more often white. The larvae feed on plants of the Fabaceae family, such as milk vetch or white clover.}}

===In {{NH|short|nolink}}===
When asked about the bug, Blathers will say the following:
{{Blathers|NH|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! <small>Yuck! The worst of luck!</small>}}

The Yellow Butterfly can be found in the butterfly room.

==Real-world information==
[[File:Real Yellow Butterfly.png|thumb|left|120px|A real yellow butterfly]]
''Pieridae'', yellow-white butterflies, are a large family of butterflies that are widespread throughout the world. So common in fact, that many sub-species have been given dozens of names throughout the world. Yellow-white butterflies are, as the name suggests, yellow or white in coloring, and usually have black markings on the wings. Males are generally colored differently to the females of the same species.

The butterflies shown in ''Animal Crossing'' are females, as males lack the yellow spots within the black bands on the edges of the wings. ''Colias erate'' is locally known as the Eastern Pale Clouded Yellow and is widespread over eastern Europe and Asia.
