Butterflies have delicate wings that are covered in tiny scales. When you touch a butterfly, the scales can come off, causing damage to their wings. This damage can make it difficult for the butterfly to fly properly, leading to their eventual death.

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.
