You can touch and handle butterflies if you do it properly. There are butterfly tagging programs in which butterflies are caught, tags are placed on their wings, and they are released. Some tagged butterflies fly hundreds of miles before being recaptured, even though their wings were touched. If enough scales are rubbed off the wings by improper handling, they can be rendered flightless, but they are not nearly as fragile of creatures as one might think.
