An easy way to catch all sorts of butterflies with your hands. Enjoy!

Catching While Landed

  1. Wait for the butterfly to land on a flower. Do not make loud noises or move the flower as it might fly off. Put your pointer finger and thumb slightly together at a sideways angle. Make sure that the butterfly doesn't notice you.
  2. Still keeping your fingers in the same position, catch the butterfly's wings with your thumb and pointer fingers. Press them together tightly so it can't fly off.
  3. If you want to take it for a journey, get a partner and have the partner put his/ her hands together with the four fingers of the right hand in between the thumb and pointer finger of the left hand. The four fingers of the left hand must completely wrap around the at least the two last fingers of the right hand. The thumbs must be crossed over the top. This is a comfortable hand cage that you can put the butterfly into. Make sure there is a small hole at the top for the butterfly to breath. It should not let the butterfly escape.
  4. Put the butterfly in through the small hole at the top. Do not squish the butterfly or close the hole. Press your other fingers together tightly to not allow the butterfly to get through. Let it free by simply separating your hands

Catching a Butterfly While in Flight

  1. Keep your hands in the "hand cage mode" as explained above. Find a butterfly in flight. When it becomes interested in something and hovers near it, envelope your hands around it. Do not kill it.
  2. When caught, your hands should be kept in hand cage mode. Adjust the hand cage if it causes discomfort to you or the butterfly.

Catching Two Butterflies While in Flight

  1. Find two butterflies in flight. You can take a partner with you. Have the partner lure one butterfly to a designated spot. Meanwhile,you must lure the other butterfly to your partner's butterfly.
  2. Once the butterflies are together, they will keep in contact for around 5 seconds. Go into "hand cage mode" and catch the butterflies while they are in contact.
  3. Should you need to, adjust the hand cage if it causes discomfort to you or the butterflies.

Force Butterfly Catching

  1. Look around the area that you want to catch the butterfly in. Where do the butterflies mostly go to rest?
  2. Once you have determined this, find a butterfly away from this area and put your hand behind it. Run in the direction of the area and make sure the butterfly is in front of your hand at all times.
  3. Stop running when you get to the area. Hopefully, the butterfly will find interest in it and land. Catch it when it does. Keep patient while it is looking for a spot to land.
  4. Repeat method 1 when it has landed.

Tips

  • Always bring a partner with you if you want to put it into the hand cage, as it makes it easier to put in
  • If you take a butterfly onto the bus, use a hand cage and always sit near the window, so that if it flies out, it will not scare the passengers, but it will fly near the window instead. Just catch it again at the window and put it back in
  • Hand cages are only designed for small butterflies. Do not put a big one in the hand cage
  • Do not catch any other part of the body for risk of discomfort to the butterfly
  • If you catch a particularly aggressive or energetic butterfly, the risk of letting it loose gets higher.
  • Keep very patient when looking for a butterfly or when waiting for it to land
  • Hold all the wings together to avoid discomfort to the butterfly
  • Your fingers may have some powder that is the color of the butterfly's wing on them. Simply wash the powder off
  • Do not catch poisonous butterflies

Warnings

  • Method 4 is mainly designed for fast butterflies. Run slowly with slow butterflies or they might be exhausted from fast flying.
