A butterfly is an insect of the order Lepidoptera. Like all Lepidoptera, butterflies are notable for their unusual life cycle with a larval caterpillar stage, an inactive pupal stage, and a spectacular metamorphosis into a familiar and colourful winged adult form. Some are known to migrate over large distances. Butterflies are important economically as one of the major agents of pollination. In addition, a number of species are pests, because they can damage domestic crops and trees. Culturally, butterflies are a popular motif in the visual and literary arts. Artistic depictions of butterflies have been used in many cultures including Egyptian hieroglyphics, 3500 years ago. Today, butterflies are widely used in various objects of art, and have inspired the "butterfly fairy" as an art and fictional character. According to the "Butterflies" chapter in Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things, by Lafcadio Hearn, a butterfly is seen as the personification of a person's soul; whether they be living, dying, or already dead. One Japanese superstition says that if a butterfly enters your guestroom and perches behind the bamboo screen, the person whom you most love is coming to see you. There are between 15,000 and 20,000 species of butterflies worldwide. Source: [link]
