Butterflies are totally the dancing queens of the animal world! They have huge wings for their tiny bodies. Their wings are way bigger than many other insects of the same weight. And new research shows butterflies don’t even need all of that wingspan -- their wings are so massive they can fly even with half their wing cut off. I have four or five ideas that just keep floating around and I want to kind of just let one – like a beautiful butterfly, let it land somewhere. GILLIAN FLYNN Adding wings to caterpillars does not create butterflies, it creates awkward and dysfunctional caterpillars. Butterflies are created through transformation. STEPHANIE MARSHALL Just living is not enough’, said the butterfly, ‘one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower.’ HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN When it comes to religion today, we tend to be long on butterflies and short on cocoons. Somehow we’re going to have to relearn that the deep things of God don’t come suddenly. SUE MONK KIDD

KRYSTAL We lose our souls if we lose the experience of the forest, the butterflies, the song of the birds, if we can’t see the stars at night.

The immortal part of man shakes off from itself, one after the other, its outer casings, and – as the snake from its skin, the butterfly from its chrysalis – emerges from one after another, passing into a higher state of consciousness. ANNIE BESANT I almost wish we were butterflies and liv’d but three summer days – three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain. JOHN KEATS ( more John Keats quotes)

Some years ago, a local organisation was asking us to come out an idea in making a paper flying butterfly based on the commercial available one. It should be easy for children to make and low cost. Hold the body of the butterfly with one hand and use your forefinger on your other hand to turn the top wings, winding up the rubber band. Butterflies are a delicate reminder of the beauty of nature. Who doesn’t enjoy witnessing one of these creatures in flight and how can we not appreciate the transformation they undergo before becoming these winged beauties.
