Butterfly Dust

Once in primary school at lunchtime, I saw a butterfly and cupped it in my hands. It fluttered inside my hands and then I let it go. Afterwards, my hands felt very light and it felt like air could pass through it. I told my friends that the butterfly dust on butterfly wings make the butterflies feel lighter and help them fly and when it was in my hands, it transferred some dust to my hands.

Later on my friends and I found a dead butterfly and we rubbed the butterfly dust off its wings and put it all on our arms. It's kinda shiny and glittery. That lunchtime, I ran around the playground "flying" because my arms felt so light.

Now that I'm older, I wonder if that's really true. I would like to try it again sometime. However, I'm a lot more scared of insects now (having been stung by a bee and bitten by a spider already this week). Actually, since we're on the topic, I'll describe my little incident this week. I was outside a very public shopping centre with Danny and I was wearing an off the shoulder top. I felt a sharp pain on my armpit and it killed and then i pulled out the sting. A bee then crawled out of my top and Danny tried to get it off while I was freaking out and everyone was staring. I felt like crying and wanted to see a doctor but danny took me to the chemist instead. I've had a fat armpit this week.

PS. Danny says a lot of mosquitoes bite me because I have sweet blood. I eat a lot of lollies and ice cream. Does that mean if I don't eat as much sugar, mosquitoes will bite me less?
