You can make a bed of
butterflies you know, I've done it. And it requires no cruelty
whatsoever.
You need butteflies,
obviously, as many as you can get, big ones, little ones, bright and
dark. I attract them into a room by leaving a window open on a sunny
day, in a room with felt walls soaked in nectar. The butterflies
drift gently in on flittering wings, and settle on the felt to drink
the sweet nectar.
As they move up and down on
the felt, the butterflies begin to get statically electrically
charged, and thus they start to attract each other as a jumper rubbed
balloon does a wall. Their delicate wings begin to align like
molecules in a crystal...to align...to stick together softly.
Eventually, after a day or
three, each wall should be turned into a veritable sheet of
butterflies. Gently detatch them, as gently as stillness, and place
them atop your base sheet. Add other sheets as required, depending on
ambient temperature. The butterflies will flap their wings in
resonance, keeping them from settling on top of each other.
As night closes in, settle
under your butterfly sheets, and sleep the stillest sleep of all,
warmed by gentle downdrafts of air. As dawn breaks, lift delicately
your butterfly sheets up, and place them back on the nectar walls to
recharge, ready for another nights peaceful sleep.
