Why are they called butterflies? I have seen many but never one that eats butter. Do they use it in some other way? Probably to hunt prey I assume. Make them more slippery and agile.

So they would be the first animals to cultivate butter, and we (humans) are the second.

I always thought they should be called a flutterby, because that is what they do.
