Let's make a distinction here between "venomous" and "toxic."Some butterflies are toxic: if you eat them, they'll poison you. In many cases, this is because when the butterfly was a caterpillar, it ate a plant that contained a poison and stored the poison up in its body. The monarch butterfly is one example: monarch caterpillars love milkweed, many species of which contain cardiac glycosides that disrupt the functioning of the heart.However, no butterflies are venomous: they can't bite or sting you and inject poison (I'm not aware of any butterflies that can bite at all).As long as you're not eating them, they're pretty harmless.
