If you've ever wondered “Is the Butterfly really worth it?” — the short answer is yes. It's one of the best Mythical pets in Grow A Garden thanks to its rainbow-mutation ability. Below, I'll break down everything: value, how to get it, what it looks like, and why you might just want to buy it instead of grinding for hours.

There are two main ways to obtain this pet.
You'll need to unlock the Cosmetics Shop. Once there, craft the Anti Bee Egg (takes 2 hours).
Recipe:
| Item | Amount Needed | Where to Get It |
|---|---|---|
| Bee Egg | 1 | Honey Merchant |
| Honey | 25 | Farm or buy with Robux |
Important: You can't craft until you've stacked enough Honey, so either farm like crazy or spend Robux to speed things up.
Old players might remember you could straight-up buy a Premium Anti Bee Egg for 149 Robux. That method is gone now, but some players still have theirs.
When I first saw mine hatch, it really stood out. Here's why:
It looks clean and symmetrical, and honestly, it feels like a premium pet.
This is where the Butterfly shines. It's not just pretty — it's useful.
Every ~30 minutes, it targets a fruit with 5+ mutations.
Even without its active trait, it still:
Basically, it's like having an auto-rainbow converter walking around your garden. If you're chasing rainbow fruits for profit, you need this pet.
Let's be real: crafting takes patience. Farming honey isn't quick, and waiting 2 hours per egg is rough. If you don't want the grind, you can just grab it directly.
Buy Butterfly at U4GM for $4.99 — safe, fast, and saves you hours.
| Method | Time Required | Resource Cost | Robux Cost | Success Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Craft Anti Bee Egg | 2 hours craft | 1 Bee Egg + 25 Honey | Optional (for Honey) | Chance to hatch Butterfly |
| Premium Anti Bee Egg (legacy) | Instant | None | 149 Robux | Guaranteed Butterfly (no longer available) |
| Buy from U4GM | Instant | None | $4.99 USD | Guaranteed Butterfly |
Honestly? I did both. I farmed one for the challenge, then bought one so I didn't have to wait 2 hours every time. Totally worth it.
The Butterfly is worth the investment. It brings utility, looks awesome, and saves tons of time by converting fruits to rainbow automatically. Whether you farm the Anti Bee Egg or buy it straight up, this pet will carry you through mid-game into late-game without question.
Recap:
If you're serious about progression, don't sleep on this one. Go get your Butterfly — you'll thank yourself later!
