If a black butterfly enters the home, there is someone in the family who will die.
Some mañaina (elders) believed that if a black butterfly fluttered around inside the house, it meant that someone in the family would be dying in the near future. It was a harbinger of death.
The butterfly had to be black or predominantly black.

If it's another color, some already dead is visiting.
But if the butterfly was of different colors, or mainly of colors other than black, and it flew into the house, it meant someone who had already died some time ago was visiting.
People would say a prayer for the dead when they saw a butterfly (other than a black one) fly into the house.

My grandma was a firm believer in this, she would always chase the black butterflies. The saying also goes if the black butterfly lands on you, it’s a sign that someone will die soon.
