Everyone gangsta till someone gets jumped by butterflies.
Lol.
Honestly I'd love that-
@@_mangaddict no you wouldnt! Try not stepping or squishing them, it'd be a nightmare!
LMAO
😂
The sweetest little butterfly. I'm glad you're taking care of her for her short lifespan. Seeing as she can't fly, she's living her best life! :D

@@jalayajenkins3849 she said "she" in case if you don't hear it
Aw yea
@@jovyisbizarre6668 Soda pets did say she didn’t really know, so she just assumed.
ai ai ai, i'm your little butterfly, green black and blue, make the colors in the sky.
when I was 9 or 8 I saved a bee by remembering a facebook post for helping exhausted bees by giving them sugar water. edit: only do this to bumble bees or bees that don't make honey because it is harmful to the honey as it dilutes it.
@@reinerbazzi9744 How? I heard it was good for them especially when they are tired and hurt.
@@reinerbazzi9744 Btw it was a bumble bee And I don't think they make honey, correct me if I'm wrong though
@@alexanderspencer5722 bumble bees don't make honey
@@ray-lj3vc Ok thanks for the confirmation
Bumble bees do make honey, but if it was just a one time thing feeding that bee was fine, it was probably just old. Just don’t leave bowls of sugar water out, it might cause the other bees to start using that since it’s easier than going from flower to flower, and that would cause them to make watery honey, which doesn’t have much nutrients in it, so it’s not very healthy for them.
The sugar water thing was really just a Facebook rumor, but tons of people fall for those everyday, so it’s okay!
the one dislike is the other butterfly that tried to fight them
Hehe.
& the rest was that butterfly’s angry crew.
Actually it was trying to mate her
So true

I googled how you can tell m/f - Males have a small black spot on the top surface of the hindwing. Females do not. You can see the spot when the wings are open; sometimes it's faintly visible when the wings are closed, too. Males also have slightly thinner wing veins.
That means that the butterfly i fed a few days ago is a male
I think that her butterfly is indeed a female
That’s really cool! :0
Butterfree expained
@@mariahrenaud5839 yes because she doesn't have that dot thing and she has bold veins and slightly bigger than males
Butterfly Pavilion (United States-based invertebrate zoo) volunteer here! Thanks for taking this little one in, so many people wouldn't think twice about trying to improve an invertebrate's quality of life. Most of what you talked about was exactly right, and your set up looked great for a disabled butterfly such as the one you've got! An unflighted butterfly doesn't need as much space as most people would think to thrive, your enclosure is a good size. I'd just like to throw in a few notes for anyone reading through the comments ^-^ If you have to handle a butterfly, even an uninjured one (Removing it from your clothing as you go inside, etc), use a glove if you can (If you can't, just try to keep contact short and gentle) and use the "scissor grip". Take your index and middle finger, approach from behind, and place one on either side of the butterfly's four wings. Never pick them up by their body, and try to avoid any contact with their legs. When releasing, don't place them down on a surface if they're able to fly. Instead, gently toss and release. Butterflies taste with their feet and they're super sensitive, so placing them down on a surface or letting their feet touch your fingertips could damage them and significantly shorten their lifespan. Good luck!
Tysm for sharing!
What if a butterfly lands on my hand? Is it still hurting it? Or do they have special ways on standing on things they dont want to taste?
That was super useful, thank you!
I've seen people save butterflies by giving them new wings
Do you have an idea of why a butterfly of the same species as the hurt one would seemingly attack the wounded?
Soda: _brings her butterfly outside_
That one Monarch butterfly: *”i will cause pain and destruction to you”*
I did this too. They are so fragile. Mine was a field butterfly and had ripped off half a wing someone ran over her on a bike
@abstract rainwing um
where's the bike rider? just wanna talk ☺🔪
@@Whotfru-gj2rr uh. we're just gonna have a... talk.. ye a talk. 🔫☺️
@@solsoil ah yeah *talk* 😄🩴
Who's joining my gang to hunt down the biker???😎💀🚴♂️💀
I kept a cricket that I named “tango” for absolutely no reason, she died of thirst after I forgot to give her water. She lived for a month which is probably a pretty long time for a cricket kept by a 9 year old.
Edit: I searched it up and actually she lived a really long life for your average North American cricket
We took care of a grass hopper until a wasp killed it it had a baby but the baby ran away
💀u killed a old lady
@@potatofamine1405 BYE
You can also give them some fruit slices, they love oranges, sometimes I put orange slices outside and these types of butterflys would start swarming!
Yea ! They are like obsessed with oranges. I always give some butterflies that are outside some oranges and they always sworm it xD
I raised a bunch of painted lady butterflies one year and would give them thinly cut orange slices. They loved them.
Whats the mushroom in ur pfp called? Is it like a show or
@@Mom_Fan oh no it's just a sticker some lesbian on tik tok made!
@@Living.Fossils whats her @? There rely cool lol
I love this! Especially with monarch's population going down, this is a nice video to share! I have a tip on watering them, though. Grab some marbles and put them in a shallow container (only enough to cover the bottom) and put some water in the container. The butterfly should be able to walk on the marbles while grabbing a quick sip of water without drowning! You can use this for bees too, and it's perfect for gardens!
While it is nice to think of helping a damaged monarch as helping the population, a damaged butterfly is never going to reproduce and oviposit again. If you want to help population decline of monarch butterflies, the better option is to plant native host species of the monarch butterfly in your garden and influence your own states decision-makers to make biodiversity a priority. Butterflies generally need two different types of plants, one for nectar in their adult butterfly stage and one for their caterpillars to eat. Please look up which plants are native in your state/province and are important for the monarchs, it really is the best way to help these magnificent creatures so they are not lost for our future generations.
Once a butterfly got stuck inside my house trying to get out the window it was petrified Because It could not get out it was going crazy so when it calmed down I put a flower next to him he flew onto my hand and he wouldn’t leave I was holding him and it flew to the wall it stayed there the whole night the next day my mum left the door open and he flew from the wall and there he went. I thought it was pregnant because it was soo fat.
@Sayuri Rosa this made me laugh lol
When you thought it was pregnant but you called it a he 🐸
I was at my friend’s house once and we found an absolutely massive monarch butterfly on her window, inside the house. There was no way for it to go back outside so we spent like thirty minutes making a contraption to safely capture it and put it outside. I was very proud after because it worked out and the butterfly stuck around for a bit.
Fat fly
FAT FLY
One time when I was walking home from school, a butterfly flew onto my skirt and I was like “O.o” cuz butterflies don’t usually do that, but then I noticed the wings were messed up just like the butterfly in this vid :(
I took it home and kept it around for a little while. It couldn’t really fly so I just put it on a flower bouquet.
After a little while I released the butterfly into the backyard where there’s lots of beautiful flowers. I put it on a rose but when I came to check the next day, it was gone...
Oh and I also saved a caterpillar from a spiderweb...which also happened at school lol :,)
I'm terrified of butterflies, to me they look like cockroaches with pretty wings BUT its was certainly an informative video to watch, maybe this knowledge will help someone in the future!
Imagine loving butterflies but being mildly terrified of any insects (and especially spiders (ik they’re arachnids)) it’s so weird to hold a ladybug and be slightly scared of it - like somehow this is gonna kill me I can feel it. It’s highly irrational, but bugs - even butterflies - give me just enough of the creeps that I don’t touch them unless necessary lol.
@@arianavail It's almost the same in my case! I like the aesthetics of butterflies in anime or on art but if in real life one or a moth would even be in my vision perimeter i would freeze up! Same with crickets or grashoppers!
I know they wont hurt me, but my soul leaves my body anyways!, but im fine with spiders lmao i dont know why i work like that! Im really happy that you can relate to me because everyone makes fun of me for that! :(
@@momoblood totally get it. I’m okay if a ladybug or butterfly lands on me, but I generally have to constantly remind myself that it’s a nice creature with no intent to harm me haha.
And you best believe I would save the crickets and grasshoppers that got into my school before anyone could kill them - but that was to preserve their life even though it stressed mine haha.
@@arianavail Yeah, is such a chaotic mess! "Help, put that away!" "nooo, dont kill it, take it away" ahahahaha
@@momoblood hahaha exactly!
I love your content so much! Please never stop doing what you're doing, you're amazing!!
I have always been so scared of butterflies, but this is just sad. :(
It’s okay to be scared of butterflies. I’m fine with most bugs as long as they leave me alone. But start flying toward my head and I’m gonna swat it. And MOTHS ARE TERRIFYING. I hate them. I like butterflies a little more because they at least are pretty, but I don’t want either of them indirect contact with my skin.
Same
aww poor girl hope she lives a beautiful and long life!!
i bet for the butterfly's wings that when she came out of her cocoon, they did not separate fully, causing then to rip and tear.
During summer I found a tiger swallowtail butterfly that had a bent wing, so I brought her in and cared for her for 1 month and 2 weeks. (Since they only live for about 2-3 weeks) That’s really crazy. I gave her sugar water and the day before she passed, I let her practice flying in my backyard,(which she can’t really fly) and I asked my mom if I could let her fly one more time today, and she said tomorrow. Tomorrow was the day we watched her pass away. My sister and I put her into resin and she still is on the desk in the living room. rest in piece Bumble!
Putting her into resin was a great way to remember and honor her, along with all of the time she spent with you. You have her the best life she could have had. She otherwise would have been eaten by a bird:( rest easy swallowtail
This is a milkweed flowers that butterflies eat.
Only for monarch's and just their caterpillars edit: oh also I mean monarch caterpillars
Animals I have rescued: a roster, a baby bird, a lot of bees, butterflies, spiders and other insects, two cats (I adopted one of them the other one already had a home) mice and some frogs, hope everything works out for her ❤️
I’ve rescued: a snake, a baby bird, a rabbit, tons of rats, butterflies, spiders,shark (one time)
this is the most wholesome video on the face of this earth... this sweet delicate little butterfly and her super kind owner :3
I just found an exhausted butterfly at a gas station/restroom/roadside food stop. It has a little bit of ripping on its wings, but I think it will still be able to fly. Thanks for sharing and showing me how to rescue this little guy.
Aww I love the butterfly! I’m sure she’s happy
I remember when I found a butterfly stuck in my pool, I grabbed one of the pool things and saved them, when I did I out them into a jar for about an hour till I saw they were flying a bit in the jar, so I opened the jar put them on my finger and let them fly away, I love this memory a lot, I was like 7 or 8 when this happened.
If she’s still going please make an update vid!
Yes please even if she passes please don't leave us hanging
Im terrified of bugs but I like butterflies, I could never let one crawl on me though XD. Once my school found a poor frozen butterfly in yhe cafeteria
What did your classmates do about it? Did anybody even notice?
Um. So i had a monarch Caterpillar and i grew up and it had parasites and could not fly. Me and my dad cared for it, and we fed it nectar out of a foil dish. We loved her, and surprisingly she lived for a month and a week. We even brought her to Lake Tahoe, but then she died. We loved her so much, and i could not forget her at all. Rip Autumn 🍂
That's so sweet. You are such a precious person. Thank you for taking care of our earth's creatures 💕 I've tried saving so many insects myself
Damn, this brought back some memories- I’ve been obsessed with moths since I was a kid, and one time one landed on me- I had an app that identifies species of things if you take a picture of them, and it told me it was a mint moth,,, and since there was mint outside with me I put some water on it and it drank from it!
Probably TMI, but I wanted to share my little anecdote :)
What's the app called?
Truly, you could make an 8 hour sleep video of just the little butter(walk) doing it's thing. That end part was so adorable and relaxing
this girl is taking care of a flapping (pun intended) butterfly meanwhile i cant keep a plant alive
Butterflies arent too hard to take care off! I raise monarch caterpillars and release them when they make it to their butterfly stage! If you can water their milkweed and pick them up if they fall down you should be fine! Though I raise mine in cages outside so I have to clean up their cages and wipe it down every day haha
Strong beautiful butterfly 🦋
Also hi neighbour from Australia
The way you care for pets is just so pleasing!
Keep doing what you are doing! :D
omg i thought the parrots were my rats getting terrified/hurt, they came to find the 'rat being attacked'
You are honestly such a kind soul. I wish the most amazing life on you
sodas literally the kindest person ever
This is so incredibly wholesome. Please do not stop posting things like this and doing things like this if they make you happy. It’s very relaxing to see such genuine content on the internet right now. 💙
she is so caring to animals and that’s why i love her 😌
I love how you used the pot from a Calico critter set
petition to name her blossom:
This was so nice and generous! I hope it lives the best life it can with it's wings.
Aww,I hope she's doing better in the future
This is so sweet 💕 I love how you are so caring towards all little creatures! Personality butterflies freak me out a bit as any flying insect does but I'm glad she is happy and well cared for 😊💕
My mother used to have a monarch butterfly farm where she would take the eggs off of the milkweed put them in a enclosure (with more milkweed) and waited for them to become a butterfly then she would release them.
when i first saw your channel years ago i looked up to you you would do the things i wanted to do and now i still do i really like helping every living thing and seeing this makes me happy :)
This is so sweeeeet
Its so amazing and inspiring and wholesome how you care for animals, bugs and the environent. Youre a great person! Keep up the good work
Started watching your channel since last week and I love it keep on going
Thanks so much for this information. Very useful!
U always care of any animal,even butterflies and also small animals,love u
I’m so glad she’s in good hands
This is one of the nicest things anyone could do, I found a butterfly before in my backyard, the butterfly’s wings were damaged and was hurt, I picked the butterfly up, I didn’t hurt it in anyway,I went to my room put it on my desk, because it might fall off my hands, I made her a little thing like yours,I got some flowers, the butterfly is doing much better, I’m still caring for her, I am scared to glue any other butterfly’s wing to this one so I’m just caring for her until she gets better,I had the butterfly for only 4 weeks , I do take her outside, she has not fell yet, I have not seen another butterfly of the same species of mine attack the butterfly, I don’t think she’ll live that long, but I’m trying to save her for her to have a longer life, I love the butterfly, I think the butterfly might be a girl but yeah!!!
When I was younger I used to catch grasshoppers, and butterflies and keep them in an aquarium. I would decorate it with rocks, sticks and flowers, I would feed them different fruits and vegetables and just watch them grow. I wasn't allowed to have a real pet until I was maybe 11. I don't really like bugs anymore but I do have fond memories of keeping them.
I’ve just watched this after many searches to help a grounded butterfly, thank you!… it does what it says on the tin👍 I’m in North Yorkshire and clearing my outhouses 2weeks ago I came across quite a few healthy ones that took off but I have this one and she’s lasting a while🦋💜
its so sweet watching ppl helping insects, they also got lives and just need some love sometimes and caring.
Insect lives matter!
Once you cut a flower it stops making nectar in a few minutes.
They will guzzle the juice from cut up watermelon pieces with great alacrity! I think the red color probably helps them home in on it as well. I picked up a weakened straggler today on my way to work, took it in where it’s warm (I’m from michigan and it’s beginning to get cold) and left it in a container with a nice bit of melon. I observed it drinking from the fruit with extended proboscis; and not long after that the little animal was vigorously trying to escape its habitat so I took it outside. It began to rapidly shake; almost vibrating for a moment then flew off with what appeared to me to be more or less full strength! It cleared a road at an altitude of at least 12 feet then veered about 45 degrees and rose to about 40 feet and fluttered off out of sight! It was a very happy occasion. But it must make it all the way to Mexico- a journey that takes at least 1-2 months. I’m very proud to have helped the little animal and I enjoyed observing it during our brief period together. I hope it makes it to the big monarch gathering
I've found your account pretty recently and I really like your content, keep up the good work!
youre so kind for trying to take care of her/him :)
Great video! Thanks for making it! I also just rescued one that can not fly. I'll care for her until her last day. Thanks so much for the video! ❤
What an awesome and informative video! When I was younger I used to bring injured butterflies home all the time - especially during summer! They usually lived for 1-2 weeks, I was always super proud when they got to the 2nd week 💖
Awe she's so strong!
Also Soda you're amazing
Thank you for this info
Thank you for being amazing and being so nice, I hope she does very well from his point on!
Awww it's soo nice ur taking care of it keep up the good work!
Just found an injured monarch butterfly and the video helped me so much. Thank you!
So lovely hearing of people caring for these beautiful creatures. The flower your monarch is happily feeding off is a buddleia ( renowned for being a favourite of butterflies and bees.). My monarchs adore them.😊
omg ur so amazing! you care for animals way more than anyone i met!
This is too pure and beautiful. Thanks.
Thank you so much. Recently my step mom got one of those butterfly hatcheries of of amazon and when the caterpillars were forming their chrysalis one of them fell over breaking his wings and prevented legs from being formed. Yesterday we let the rest go and I took in the disabled one and I haven't had him for long but Im not ready for him to die. He has crushed wings and only 3 legs and only 2 of them work properly. I didn't know whether it was better to keep him or let him go but now that I know im doing the right thing I want to give him his best life. While knowing that he can barely move to eat he wont live long but I want to try and make the best of it.
If you have a butterfly that can fly, its too small, but since it can only walk- this is an appropriate size, but ofc it should be bigger.
You always take care of animals and it's so kind
You are truly an a AMAZING soul! You have such a huge heart. You go above and beyond when it comes to animals. We need more people like you in the world.
My name (Vanessa) means butterfly, so I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for them. 🦋They are such beautiful and graceful beings.
As always...I love your videos!
Thank you so much for caring for her! You have a good heart
It's wonderful that you rescued this beauty! I hope she lives long and happy ^^
Wow 🙏 thank you for this info it’s very precious! I just found a hurt butterfly 🦋 so that’s so helpful. God bless and guide you 💕
Your videos really make happy😊
You are so underrated! And with an underrated youtuber, comes a new subscriber :]
Thank you. The internet said to leave nature to its course. But this sweet little yellow butterfly is going to live its last days in peace.
Your pet butterfly is adorable. Thank you very much for rescuing her.
Wow she is so nice to all animals she dose as much as she can to make it happy. 🙂❤️
Good advice!!
I kind do this but with some plantes usually we do take out the dead plants and if I see like a really healthy one that does not have any bugs or completely dead i won't take it
Your such a kind soul!
Awe that is awesome of you to help the butterfly 🦋
I love that your caring for a butterfly! Also can u do more vids of taking ur cockatiels out? I love those vids and rewatch them often
So special! Found one injured today and trying your tactics now!
Love your videos.
My siblings and me always made it our mission to save all bugs from our pool and we didn't realy know how to care for them, so we just sat them on flowers in a corner of our garden with a lot of sunshine.
i love ur content so much
Ur bassiacly the most wholesome UA-camr I've ever seen
Patty!!! Ahh! Absolutely obsessed with your collection! Your so lucky! :)
Monarchs are beautiful, i love the flower that you have for the butterfly
i love her so much also her voice
I love butterflies and for some reason they love me, I've been "swarmed" by hundreds before and just walked around covered in butterflies before so they are very special to me and the fact you have a monarch is amazing I haven't seen one in Arizona for years so yeah.
Thank you for helping this butterfly you sweet sweet girl ❤😢
Such a beautiful butterfly 🥺
I remember my class held a discussion about a class pet, so my friend brought some painted lady caterpillars. They went into cocoons except for a dead one, and we released our last ones.
I took care of a butterfly for a while, I mixed a bit of sugar with some water and put it in a cotton ball, I also got a bit of dirt and put it with some water and rocks because what I found when I looked it up was that butterflies find puddles and get nutrients from them. The butterfly later on flew off with some coaxing
I saved many monarch butterfly’s from OE and one I remember loved for about 6 months after I found her
(OE is a disease in monarch butterflies where it cripples the wings and makes it so they can’t fly)
OMG thank you so muchhhh! I have found injured butterflies before and I was always so sad I didnt know what to do with them! This is very helpful!
I knew it. I wasn't the only one who who had a very soft spot for animals.
I literally can't kill a cockroach.
