There are some cultures that believe butterflies are inhabited by the souls of those who can not enter the after-life (heaven), others believe they are the souls of unborn children.
I have heard it said that seeing three butterflies together at one time is an omen of ill fortune. In England seeing a butterfly at night is an omen of a coming death. In some areas the first butterflies of spring were hunted down and killed to preserve the luck of the area. And at one time in Scotland witches were believed to be able to change into red butterflies.
