    Honestly, it takes practice to hand-catch a butterfly. If you don't want it to fly away, then you need to sneak up to it, very slowly and very quietly. Then, slowly lower your hand and pinch your thumb and forefinger at the top of a butterfly's wings.

    Will a butterfly die if we touch its wings?

    While touching a butterfly's wings may not kill it immediately, it could potentially speed up the fading of the colors on the butterfly's wings, wiping out patterns that are used to protect the butterfly from predators. Touching the butterfly's wings could potentially result in a shorter than expected life.
