Contents Types Crafting Used in Notes Tips Trivia Bestiary entries See also History References

Butterflies are small critters that can be found in Forests during daytime. They can be caught with a Bug Net (except for the Hell Butterfly(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions)) and carried in the inventory or crafted into Butterfly Jars. They can also be used as bait for fishing. The Underworld variant, Hell Butterfly, can be found in the Underworld during daytime.

The Hell Butterfly(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) can only be caught with the Lavaproof Bug Net(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) or the Golden Bug Net(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions). Attempting to catch it with a standard Bug Net will not work, and the player will take 1damage and be inflicted with On Fire! for 5seconds / 10seconds / 12.5seconds.[1]

Notes

  • The spawn rate of Butterflies/Stinkbugs are set to a random value at every dusk (7:30PM), or each time the world is loaded, making them spawn at different amounts every day. They will be more common in Celebrationmk10(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) worlds. See below for the detailed spawn condition.
    • At every dusk (7:30PM), or each time the world is loaded, the spawn rate of Butterflies and Stinkbugs(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) are set to a random value. Below is the detailed info:[2]
      • For Butterflies and Stinkbugs, there are two parameters: butterflyChance and stinkBugChance, the spawn rate of Butterflies and Stinkbugs, respectively.
    These parameters are set in the following way:
    • First, 1/3 (33.33%) chance: butterflyChance = 999999 (effectively preventing them to spawn), and stinkBugChance = 1–13, then there is a 1/5 (20%) chance for the stinkBugChance to be set to 999999.
    • If the 1/3 (33.33%) chance failed, then: stinkBugChance = 999999, and butterflyChance = 1–20, then there is a 1/5 (20%) chance for the butterflyChance to be set to 999999.
    • This effectively makes it so a day can only have Butterflies or Stinkbugs, not both of them.
    • Then, if the world is a Celebrationmk10 world, butterflyChance is divided by 2. If the value is lower than 1 after dividing, then set it to 1.
    • First, butterflyChance = 1–24.
    • Then, there is a 1/3 (33.33%) chance for the butterflyChance to be set to 999999.
    After these parameters are set, they will be used in spawning. Note that the following chances are only related to the respective critter and for reference only, they do not account for other spawns:[4]
    • Butterflies can only spawn during daytime when not raining, the player is on surface, is not in a Graveyard(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), and the wind speed is lower than 20 mph.
    • There is a 1/butterflyChance chance for a Butterfly to spawn, then there are two individual 1/4 (25%) chances for an extra Butterfly to spawn.
    • As a result, they can appear in groups of 1–3.
    • For Hell Butterflies(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), they do not use the former spawning mechanic. They can always spawn in the Underworld during daytime, one at a time.

    • Tips

    • New players should be on the lookout for days when lots of butterflies spawn, since they can fetch high prices. One day can easily net over 10 GC.
