#### Breed different colored butterflies for different flavored milk

I thought Butterfly breeding could be interesting, and provide a new set of 'collectables'. Give butterflies about three or four primary colors, and breeding certain combinations could randomly result in rare colors. They could drop specialty milk like chocolate milk, or fruit flavored milks, or other things. It could be an extension to the animal husbandry skill set, perhaps.

- Could use elements or compounds to get the different colors.
  For the flavors maybe have a slot in the recipe to include a fruit.

- Even just the colours would be great. The flavours would be nice too, but not as important.

- I dig both ideas! More complex recipe combos would definitely bump up the fun level, but having a bit of "random" in there keeps it entertaining much longer!

- Seems like this was discussed in an earlier thread. I agree that it would be cute. If we got yellow and red butterflies (all offering low-level basic milks that may make different smoothies but which all compress to the same butter and cheese), the crossbreeding to get secondary colors like orange, purple and green (and higher-level special milks that compress to a higher-level butter or fancier cheese) would require a special skill level. Breeding two different secondary color butterflies could get brown, and chocolate milk (for best mood / energy / XP reward recipes, but maybe the downside is that the rare chocolate milks do not provide butter or cheese at this level). :)
  It would also be nice to learn a high-level skill that would "pin" one butterfly to you for a couple of game hours, much like the mail frogs follow you about until you speak to them. Having a pinned butterfly could grant a special buff.

- I would love to see more colors of butterflies , just because they are pretty (espcially in my backyard!) - adding all these other ideas about how to make new butterfly colors integral to the game is just extra level of awesome ! that peachy coral color like the flowers in groddle/some skies,and green like the skies in some bog lands, purple like the rook cubimal -too cool .
  +1 to all of the above. on a side note , i'd be happy for a strawberry milk recipe just to be able to use up all these strawberries I farmed. lols. ;)

- That would be great! I feel the butterflies need more to do in this game anyway! :-)

- If you've got a bunch of butterflies in your house, it would be great if different colors could produce color mixes ON THEIR OWN e.g. I own a red and a blue and one day I come home to find an additional purple butterfly. It should require some special learnable skill to achieve this, of course.
