This little critter isn't a butterfly. He's not even part butterfly. But the human eye might mistake him for one if you see him fluttering around your garden out of the corner of your eye. A flash of wing here, a swoop there, and you're all smiles.

Well, guess what? You shouldn't be smiling. This little dragon-thing is nothing more than a good-for-nothing thief. When you and your neighbors are sleeping, he breaks back into your garden (which, by the way, he was scoping out earlier in the day for exactly this purpose), uses his magic to grow big enough to dig up all of your best ripe veggies, and takes off again, leaving nothing but holes and you scratching your head and cursing rabbits next morning.

The moral of this story is NEVER TRUST BUTTERFLIES.
