A hurt Butterfly

Explain to your daughter that the best thing for the buttefly is to go back to bature so it can recuperate in its natural habitat.

Butterflies have a very short life style as it is, but that's probably not something you'd want to share with a six y/o.

in all honesty i would tell your daughter that the butterfly will be ok and let it go they only live to be a few weeks old anyway can it fly? i was like that when i was a kid hated to see any animal hurt! i am still that way anyway if you want to try and nurse it back to health use sugar water on a cotten ball in a net cage if its not too bad it may fly eventually

also be very careful not to touch the wings too much there wings are made of a powdery subtance that will disolve if handled too much
