Increase butterfly lifespan

I find dying butterflies depressing. It's pretty much the only thing in the game I find a bummer.

I know singing increases the lifespan of a butterfly a little bit, but not that much.

I can also "animal youth" each one and then feed it back to adulthood...

It would be great though if there was a potion, powder, or something that would give a butterfly (or all butterflies within range) another week or maybe 3 days of life. Then the butterfly lover could just pour that potion every week (or twice a week) and make sure the little winged fiends never expire.

  • Singing works, but it is a big energy drain (10% of tank). A new powder would be a nice alternative way to rejuvenate butterflies.

  • I was just thinking of this today since I'm down to two butterflies again. Singing is awfully expensive and it's hard to find all the butterflies on a street. Could we get a powder or potion to make butterflies last longer? Maybe the more butterflies you have, the weaker the effect to be balanced. Maybe it could give a week/# of butterflies.

  • Here here!  Longer living butterflies please! 

    Although breeding different color butterflies, with different characteristics like longer life or more milk would be cool too.

  • I still have the same butterflies in my front yard that I started with after the housing reset, but I do not have any milkers there. My backyard butterflies do die but I do have a milker there. In my experience the more milkers the shorter the life.

    TL:DR
    40 milkings per unsung butterfly, and 3 more for singing
