"Butterfly as a reincarnation of a departed loved one" Most Filipinos or almost all believe in the superstition that a butterfly is a reincarnation of a departed loved one. That when a butterfly is wandering in one's home, it is believed that they are the departed loved ones who came to visit. My sister send me this photo where a butterfly land on her arm. We actually believe on that superstition. Maybe its our father guiding us or our uncle who died telling us to visit him on the last day of his burial. Believing on superstition or not is your choice, respect is important. @Snowver
