After the capture of butterflies, the butterfly hunter will flatten the butterfly's abdomen, kill the butterfly and then dismember it by removing the head and torso, and keeping only the wings as a material for butterfly wings paintings. The brush-footed butterfly used for the giraffe's body is a local dominant creature and therefore appears in most of the butterfly wings paintings.
