Laudy Miss Claudy
I enjoy learning multiples in English like a Crash of Rhinos, an Exaltation of Larks and our old favorate a Bunch of Bananas.

Wow! A kaleidoscope of butterflies is a beautiful turn of phrase. I am a lover of words.

Unfortunately the poor butterfly is passing from our sight as the species die out for lack of habitation. I used to see a lot of Monarchs but I think it is about six or seven years now. I grow butterfly friendly plants and trees but it doesn't seem to be helping! Any other suggestions?

funtommy, me too, an unkindness of ravens, an intrigue of kittens, a charm of hummingbirds are some of my favourites. a kaleidoscope of butterflies is aptly named.

A kaleidoscope of butterflies - how apt and how beautiful; almost as lovely as the term used for a collection of ladybirds - a loveliness !

Wow I didn’t know anything about their lifespan, interesting

An "intrigue of kittens?" Playing on the curiosity angle, I guess. Judging by the state of my office, where my papers used to lay in neat, undisturbed piles, but no longer do, thanks to only one kitten, I vote for a Chaos of Kittens.

It's a cyclone of scorpions. Habitat loss has also made it nearly impossible to see fireflies or lightning bugs. I really miss those days when

Colette, Never heard that term for butterflies in my long life. But the word sure fits.
Lionessa
Habitat loss, invasive plants, pesticides, and even roadside mowing are to blame for the global decline of butterflies. 3/4 of the United Kingdom's butterflies are in decline, and 19 US species are near extinction.

Colette, the Esperanto language makes groups of things much easier. Any group of any kind is an aro. Kataro, hundaro, birdaro...

A group of pandas is called an embarrassment or a cupboard. Let that sink in.

I picked kaleidoscope because I so hoped it was. What an apt term for butterflies.
Bonnie
Player #3532789, Yes grow a Red Passion Vine. Monarchs lay their eggs on the Oassion Vine leaves. Hope wherever you live that you can grow them. Good Luck!

The Indianapolis, Indiana Zoo has a butterfly garden. One can walk through & view the various stages among the wonderfully beautiful butterflies.
