'''Butterflies''' are insects with large, often brightly colored wings capable of conspicuous, fluttering flight. 

==History==
Butterflies first evolved on the planet, [[Earth]], in the [[Sol system]]. In accordance with the [[Conservation Measure]], the [[Librarian]] indexed multiple species of butterfly to ensure their survival during the [[Great Purification]]. They were preserved on Installation 00 and were [[reintroduction|reintroduced]] to Earth in the years following the firing of the [[Halo Array]]. However, a number of butterfly species remained on the Ark indefinitely and flourished there.<ref name="Halo 3">'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level, ''[[Valhalla]]''</ref><ref name="HW2">''[[Halo Wars 2]]''</ref> When humanity rediscovered the Ark in the twenty-sixth century, the descendants of these butterflies were encountered. The butterflies of the Ark were incorporated by [[UNSC]] cartographers into [[Valhalla|a simulated]] [[War Games]] environment.{{Ref/Reuse|Halo 3}}

==Description==
The butterflies indigenous to Installation 00 comprise a diversity of primary colors, including purple, yellow, red, white, and blue.{{Ref/Reuse|Halo 3}}{{Ref/Reuse|HW2}}

==Gameplay==
In ''[[Halo 3]]'', butterflies can be found in certain areas of the multiplayer map, ''[[Valhalla]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|Halo 3}} They are found in groups of three and remain in the same location. Groups of yellow butterflies can be found at the center hill (where the [[M6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle|Spartan Laser]] spawns) and at the base of a tree in the middle of the map. They are unaffected by players' actions.
