And i mean that nice coloured ones When i was little i wanted to but i was somewhat afraid of them In my mind if they struggled and moce their wings they will hurt me Later on find out how these beautifull creatures come to life and made up my mind about catching them What about you?

Yes but I was always gentle and never killed them unless by accident...I used to watch the cats try to catch them.Its very cute until they actually catch one..Then its sad!!

Yes, I do catch several butterflies when I was still a child growing up in the province. My favorite past time then was "chasing butterflies in our backyard". I love butterflies and it feels good having them in my palms. So far, no butterflies ever crushed in my hands, I picked up and catch them slowly and gently.

I have never caught a butterfly. I guess the closest I've ever come to actually catching one was having one land on my hand when I was younger. I got it to land on me, but I was afraid to try actually catching it, cause they seem so fragile that I have always been afraid that I would end up ripping its wing or something!

Butterflies are so beautiful. I like to watch them float and flutter. I never tried to catch one because of being afraid I would hurt it.

I tried alot to catch a butterfly in my childhood. I was brave enough to try catch one but it was only until i touch the butterfly. When i use to touch it once i use to feel so weird and sometimes scared that it might hurt me. They are so beautiful and colorful.

I have caught one of those beautiful Monarch butterflies when I was little. I wanted to keep it but I let it go. I also caught small little yellow butterflies and I think I may have kept one in a jar for awhile.
