'''[[Butterfly|Butterflies]]''' are enemies that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]'', being one of the most difficult foes. They appear starting from round 24 (15 in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version) and move in random patterns, swooping down on [[Stanley]] or taking his [[flower (Donkey Kong 3)|flower]]s. They can also toss spears like [[Buzzbee]]s and [[Beespy|Beespies]]. In the arcade version, if a Butterfly feeds a flower to [[Donkey Kong]] it becomes a [[Super Bee]].
In ''[[Donkey Kong 3: Dai Gyakushū]]'', Butterflies fly in groups that reach the bottom of the screen. Only one formation of Butterflies may exist at a time. Butterflies move very quickly, moving even faster than [[Super Bee]]s, though unlike Super Bees, they do not fire projectiles at Stanley. They make their first appearance [[On the Ground Picture]], the sixteenth stage. They take one hit to defeat, and give 30 points.
