The '''Tiger Butterfly''' (アゲハチョウ, ''Agehachō'') is a common butterfly that can be found near red flowers during the [[spring]] and [[summer]] months. They travel slowly and so can be caught easily. This butterfly can often be found on or around red or pink flowers. The "Tiger Butterfly" is called the "Old World Butterfly" in real life.

===In ''Animal Crossing''===
 
''"There's an old saying among some of my contemporaries: "Butterflies are beautiful, yet moths are monstrous." Well, if you were to ask me, I'd say they were all the same! By which I mean disgusting! Truly hoo-rrific, wot wot!"''
 
 
===In ''Wild World''===
 
Blathers will accept Tiger Butterflies for donation to the insect room of the [[museum]], but this does not necessarily mean that he likes them:
 
 
''"Tiger butterflies are named due to their distinctive tiger-like markings... I must say, I'd almost rather encounter a real tiger than one of these. Real tigers are nowhere near as... wretched."''
 
 
The Tiger Butterfly can be found hovering around the flowers in the first room of the insect exhibit after donation.
 
 
===In ''City Folk''===
 
After donation at the museum in ''City Folk'', [[Blathers]] the curator will talk about the Tiger Butterfly:
 
 
''"Aside from the south pole, one can find tiger butterflies just about anywhere on earth. Imagine these monstrous bugs flapping about the whole globe... The very thought robs me of sleep!"''
 
 
The Tiger Butterfly can be found fluttering around the flowers on the lower tier of the insect room after donation.
 
 
===In ''New Leaf''===

Upon being donated, the butterfly can be found in the first room of the bug exhibit resting on flowers with the other butterflies. The exhibit has this to say about the Tiger Butterfly:
 
 
''"The larvae of tiger butterflies feed on leaves of orange trees until the metamorphose. When they're threatened, they emit a foul smell from their antennae to protect themselves. The dusting you see on your fingers whenever you touch their wings is actually from their scales. These scales form the wing pattern as well as repel rainwater, making them very important for survival."''

The Madagascan Sunset Moth (アゲハチョウ, Agehachō) is a moth.

Donating to the museum

A player catches a Tiger Butterfly

As with all fish and bugs in the Animal Crossing series, the Tiger Butterfly can be donated to the Museum by talking to Blathers, who will also tell the player a little bit about the donation. Regarding the Tiger Butterfly:

In New Horizons

When asked about the bug, Blathers will say the following: "Hoo! Dare I say, EWW! That is a Madagascan sunset moth! Do be careful1 And do NOT release it from its cage! I shudder at the very thought. The Madagascan senet moth is said to be the most beautiful moth in the world...a sentiment even I can't deny. While most moths are nocturnal, this one flutters about during the day, making good use of the light. This is, when the daylight reflects off its wings, a kaleidoscope of colors are revealed! Oh! Eh...too bad it has such startling red feet as a caterpillar. I might have found it almost tolerable otherwise. Almost, but not quite. And that is all I have to say about that. Now, if you please, put away your Madagascan sunset moth."

The Tiger Butterfly can be found in the butterfly room, but may also be spotted flying around the big bug room as well.
