Butterfly
Single-flower Pollinated tags do not scale — Butterfly Flutter spreads pollen across neighboring tiles, multiplying Bee's work across entire rows.
Quick stats
- Hatch weight: 0.15 kg
- Weight at age 50: 0.82 kg
- Weight at age 100: 1.50 kg
Playstyle
Butterfly extends flower mutation coverage horizontally. Place Butterfly on the edge of a flower block so Flutter hits the maximum tile count per proc. Mandatory partner to Bee — Pollinate applies tags, Flutter propagates proc pressure outward. Prismatic Butterfly divine is endgame upgrade with Spectrum on all flowers.
Weight & trading
0.15 kg is the lightest hatch weight in the entire roster — Butterfly starts microscopic for weight classification. Tier B despite weight because Flutter's area mutation impact punches far above classification. Invest heavily in age; weight stays low unless hatch rerolls abnormally.
Flutter spreads pollen across multiple crops per proc, increasing Pollinated and related mutation roll density on adjacent flower tiles. Area effect scales with age. Synergizes multiplicatively with Bee Pollinate and Dragonfly Zephyr windstruck-pollinated stacks on meta flower builds.

Area spread geometry
Edge placement maximizes Flutter tile coverage — center placement overlaps already-pollinated tiles redundantly. Rotate Butterfly as flower block expands with new planting rows.
Flutter during night with Owl Night Vision active creates moonlit-pollinated cross-tag opportunities on night-eligible flower varieties.
Upgrade to Prismatic Butterfly
Prismatic Butterfly Spectrum applies rainbow and prismatic mutations on all flowers passively — the endgame version of Flutter's area concept. Standard Butterfly teaches spread mechanics cheaply before divine investment.
Butterfly at 0.15 kg hatch looks like a scam listing to untrained traders — document tier B status and Flutter ability when selling.
Common questions
- Does Flutter work without Bee on the same plot?
- Flutter spreads pollen proc chances independently but pairs best with Bee Pollinate for guaranteed Pollinated tags on core tiles plus spread on neighbors.
- Can Flutter affect non-flower crops?
- Pollen spread primarily affects flower-category and pollen-eligible tiles. Standard vegetables see minimal Flutter benefit.
