The Gold Butterfly is a harmless critter. It is a golden recolor of the ordinary Butterfly, with a 1/400 (0.25%) chance of spawning in place of the ordinary version.

The Gold Butterfly has only 5 health and no defense, and can be damaged by other enemies and players.

The Gold Butterfly can be caught with any Bug Net to be carried around in the inventory and released later, or crafted into animated decorative furniture (Gold Butterfly Jar). Once crafted, the Gold Butterfly cannot be released again, unless the furniture item is de-crafted via Shimmer(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions). The Gold Butterfly itself or the crafted furniture can be sold for 10 GC.

The Gold Butterfly can be used as bait for fishing, with 50% bait power.

It is one of the few entities that can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer or its upgrades.
