Is it good luck for a butterfly to land on you?

[Tulirose]

All this talk about butterflies! Don't read this if you gross out easily.

Over the weekend, I came into the house, walked all the way through to my bedroom, looked in the mirror and saw a small butterfly in my hair.

Trying hard not to freak out (because I really do love butterflies), I quickly go out to the back deck. I check my reflection in the window to make sure that the butterfly is still there and then I shake it out of my hair.

It falls to the ground and is not very active. I go get my husband to show him and the butterfly is gone when we return.

After a while, hubby comes over and asks me "is this your butterfly?" Yes, it has moved to the chaise lounge by the hottub.

Up jumps our outdoor cat, Oliver, who proceeds to check out this creature and then devours the little guy! YUK!

Poor little butterfly.

So, it was tough luck for the butterfly to land on me but will I get any good luck out of this?

I don't know Tulirose, seems to me Oliver is the one who snacked out in the luck department........

Oh, I'd say it has to be good luck!!!!!! We have seen a bajillion of them fluttering around our back yard lately and I know I would be tickled pink if one would land on me.

Poor little guy (or gal). What a way to go!

Let us know if you have any caterpillars in your hair soon!

TTFN, TigH.

I dont know about a butterfly but I do know that it is good luck for a bird to poop on you.

Welcome to the DIS and to the Flower & Garden board Donaldduck1967!

Really? It's supposed to be good luck if a bird leaves their calling card on you? I think I'll stick to looking for 4 leaf clovers!

What an interesting thread! LOL!

If I have to let a bird poop on me for good luck, I'll just stick with bad luck....

Feel sorry for the little butterfly though....
