Golden and Grey ones can not breed any more. Choose butterflies to do breeding action from this list. Click an inventory item, it will be put on the breeding window.

The maximum times allowed for 1st generation(OG) butterflies to breed is 3, second generation 2, 3rd and 4th generation 1. The 5th generation and androgynous butterflies have none. When the breeding count is 0, breeding cannot happen.
