It falls to the ground and does not react to touch or approach. A live butterfly will always be on its feet, even when on the ground. Also the eyes will darken - the eyes of a live butterfly have a wonderful '3D'-ish effect, changing depending on how you look at them, often coloured and with darker specks and spots. The eyes of a dead butterfly turn to a flat brown, grey or black within minutes to hours. But, compared to other insects like ants and arachnids like Spiders, whose bodies crumple out of shape immediately upon death, butterflies look remarkably intact, largely due to their wings; as the butterfly emerged from the chrysalis, the large amount of fluid in the distended body was pumped through the veins of the wings to unfurl and stiffen them permanently.
