Or better still, go out on a warm, sunny day and find a real one.
After all, all those pictures on the internet could just be photoshopped.
If you're wondering how to get close enough to a butterfly to be able to count its legs without scaring it away, fear not, for I have some advice.
It's generally easier to spot a butterfly in flight and follow it until it lands, rather than trying to find ones that are already on the ground.
But that might just be me; I'm severely colourblind, so they perhaps don't stand out to me as much as they would to you.
Anyway, once it's landed somewhere, there's only a few things you have to remember to avoid scaring it away.
The first is that, when they've landed somewhere, it's probably to sun themselves, so be careful not to block their sunlight.
If you cast a shadow on them, they'll almost certainly fly away.
The second thing is that they tend to be startled by large, or sudden movements.
So keep low to the ground, and move slowly and smoothly.
Even if they aren't scared by you, most butterflies don't stay in one place for more than a few seconds at a time, though, so don't be too slow.
Also, because they have compound eyes, they'll see you no matter which direction you approach from -- you can't sneak up behind a butterfly.
On the positive side, they aren't bothered by sound in the slightest; you can be as loud as you like.
I actually don't know if they don't have any sense of hearing, or if they can hear you but just don't care.
I should also mention that some species of butterfly are much more flighty than others.
And some just won't sit still! Papilionids in particular hardly ever seem to land in the first place.
I have heard it said that many species are more sluggish around dawn and dusk, but I can't say I've really noticed much difference myself.
Not that I'm usually awake and out butterfly spotting at dawn, to be fair.
Have I really just spent almost fifty posts talking to myself about butterflies?
Well, not quite fifty consecutive posts -- thanks for your input, >>274.

I suppose I'll just get us up to >>300 and then call it a night.
Good night, DQN.
May your heart be as light and free as a butterfly.

I once said "red emperor" when I meant "red admiral" a long time ago, mistakes like that haunt you at night.
