Description The story revolves around Kathy and her insecurities relating to her four year relationship with Pete. The play is set in the space of one afternoon. Sal and Danny, friends of Kathy's, are having lunch with another visitor of hers, Sebastian. He is a butterfly collector, obviously where the title of the play is derived. Sebastian enthralls them with tales of the mating habits and rituals of some butterfly colonies.
Sal. apparently takes great delight in luring as many men as she can into her bed, and she is not very subtle about getting them there!
