Meadow collection and decorative bottling
Sulphur Butterflies flutter through sunny Forest meadows during daytime hours when no rain is falling. Swinging a Bug Net or Golden Bug Net captures the yellow insect. Their bright yellow coloration stands out distinctly against surface grass and forest foliage on clear days. Players can combine this specimen with an empty bottle to create a glowing Sulphur Butterfly Jar, or assemble 50 stone blocks at a Heavy Assembler to carve a Butterfly Statue.
Bait tier comparisons among daytime lepidoptera
Offering 10% bait power, the Sulphur Butterfly serves as entry-level fishing bait. It provides double the potency of the Monarch Butterfly, though it ranks below the Julia Butterfly and Red Admiral Butterfly. Because surface butterflies vanish at dusk, gathering them during sunny mornings provides early anglers with quick bait reserves or 10 silver vendor income.
Trivia
- Only appears in surface Forest biomes during daytime weather when it is not raining.
- Crafting a Sulphur Butterfly Jar requires combining one captured specimen with an empty glass bottle.
