Tropical Butterfly House and Wildlife Centre

Why is a butterfly called a butterfly? Do they make butter? I don't think so. Neither do they have a particular liking for butter as far as I know. I've certainly never seen a butterfly eating butter, nor any documented footage of such an occasion. And calling it a 'fly' associates it with those nasty little things that hover around dog turds. So a butter–fly should be, if the name made any sense, a dirty big blue–bottle who gets into peoples fridges and eats their butter. Well, if you'd like to find out why a butterfly is called a butterfly then go along to this place, its full of them. <b><i><a href='http://www.itchycity.co.uk/shop/'>Click here to buy itchySheffield, the UK's best–selling guide to what's on in Sheffield, including hotels, restaurants, clubs, bars, and shopping. </a></i></b>
