Among the existing signs there are a number of those who speak of certain messengers who connect the world of the living with the world of the dead.

True, as in any rule, there were exceptions, or rather warnings. If the insect was sitting on the right shoulder, it was necessary to expect a friend to visit, and if on the left - to be ready to meet with a not very pleasant person. The positive side of such information: forewarned - means armed. In this case, the appearance of the butterfly is not considered a good sign in the house, and, in order to avoid trouble, it must necessarily be released, trying not to damage the insect.
