8 Butterflies Who Can Get It

Butterflies, arguably the sexiest of all insects, flaunt it with every lilt. While us humans might not find them attractive, in the insect kingdom, butterflies are by and far the supermodels. With that in mind, we sent out a poll into the bug world, asking if there were any butterflies in particular who can "get it." Here are the results.

Steven Lipshitz

According to those polled, Steven rates a scolding 8 out of 10 on the 'Hawtometer'. Factors include a "slamming thorax" and a "touching devotion to his family."

Jamal Howerson

Jamal ain't a big city butterfly like some on this list. He's just a humble country 'erfly who loves nothing more than to sit playing his bug-guitar on a clear, warm night, while looking dreamy.

Margaret Houlihan

Given the nickname 'Hot Lips' because she shares her name with a character on M*A*S*H, it's Margaret's Abdomen that actually brings all the boys to the yard. She rated a blistering 10 out of 10 on the Hawtometer, and was described as "the kind of butterfly you don't take home to mother." 

Tom Wilson

Hawtness comes in all forms. Butterfly next door, Tom Wilson already had all the ladies' hearts aflutter before he became a hero. Seeing his friend Jenny about to get swooped up in a net, Tom flew down into the face of a small child to distract him so Jenny could get away. This led to many a butterfly saying Tom can "so get it." Unfortunately for Tom his deadline for getting it was short lived as he was captured by the same child and had the powder rubbed from his wings.

Milquetoast

Don't let the name fool you, this bold and beautiful butterfly has been lighting up the TV sets of insects everywhere for years. Maybe it's the gorgeous proboscis, maybe it's the #$%^-me compound eyes, but Milquetoast has been long held as the impossible beauty standard for others to attain.

Martin Spirits

Lest you think this list is nothing more than an over glorified meat market, let us introduce you to Martin. Martin is a teacher who uses humor and a gentle heart to reach the kids that pass through his classes.  Also, check out those hindwings, and those forewings... Hawt is Hawt.

Sylvia Jones

Who can get it? Sylvia can get it. Across the list, one butterfly above all others, seemed to rate as the one most insects dream of. From her legs to her antennae, Sylvia rates off the charts. Her Hawtometer reading is a bubbling volcanic 12 out of 10. 

Monarch Mexican Migration

Even though we asked specifically for single butterfly names, time and time again, The yearly Mexican Monarch Migration was written in, with most expressing that they were all "sexy" and that "everyone in the orgy can so get it." Who are we to deny the insects their voice on the matter?
