In the ever-growing world of Roblox's "Grow a Garden," pets play a major role in building your farming empire. One of the most desired pets is the Butterfly. It is not just beautiful but also has a powerful ability to generate the rare and highly valuable Rainbow mutation. If you want to add this flying companion to your collection, this guide will help you with every step, from crafting to hatching and using it effectively.

What is the Butterfly Pet

The Butterfly was added to the game with the "Bizzier Bees and Friendship" update on June 3, 2025. Unlike some pets that can be bought directly or found in regular eggs, the Butterfly only comes from the Anti Bee Egg. This makes it a bit tricky to get and requires several steps.

Step 1: How to Get the Anti Bee Egg

The Anti Bee Egg is not a normal shop item. It comes mainly from the "Bizzy Bees" event content. There are two main ways to get this egg.

Method A: Crafting at the Bizzy Bear Crafter (Free Method)

This is the free way to get the egg, though it requires time and effort in the game.

  • First, find the Bizzy Bear Crafter. This NPC is usually on the right side of the Bee Swarm event platform in your garden. Talk to him to access the crafting interface.
  • To craft one Anti Bee Egg, you will need:
  • One Bee Egg: These can be obtained from the "Bizzy Bees" event or bought at the Honey Shop using Honey.
  • Twenty-five Honey: Honey is the main currency used in this event. You can collect it by harvesting heavy fruits like Coconut, Dragon Fruit, Mango, and Beanstalk. Participating in the hourly Bee Swarm event and using pets from the Bee Egg or Anti Bee Egg that help with pollination also increases your Honey collection.
  • Once you have both ingredients, interact with the Bizzy Bear Crafter and select the Anti Bee Egg recipe to start crafting.
  • Crafting takes two hours. If you do not want to wait, you can use Robux to skip the timer and get the egg instantly. Otherwise, you will need to wait for it to complete.

Method B: Buying from the Game Shop (Robux Method)

If you do not want to grind, you can buy Anti Bee Eggs directly from the Limited Time Shop using Robux.

  • One Anti Bee Egg costs 149 Robux
  • Three Anti Bee Eggs cost 429 Robux
  • Ten Anti Bee Eggs cost 1269 Robux

This method is quicker, but it can become expensive, especially since the chances of getting the Butterfly are low.

Step 2: Hatching the Anti Bee Egg

Once you have the Anti Bee Egg, the next step is to hatch it. The Butterfly is a Mythical pet and has a very low hatch rate.

Drop Rates for Pets from the Anti Bee Egg:

  • Wasp - 55 percent
  • Tarantula Hawk - 30 percent
  • Moth - 13.75 percent
  • Butterfly - 1 percent
  • Disco Bee - 0.25 percent

Because the Butterfly only has a 1 percent chance, you may need to hatch several eggs before getting it. Stay patient and persistent.


Why the Butterfly is Worth It

Even though it takes time and effort, the Butterfly pet is extremely valuable due to its special ability.

Rainbow Mutation Ability

About every 28 to 30 minutes, the Butterfly flies to a nearby fruit that has five or more mutations. It removes all current mutations and adds a Rainbow mutation instead.

Big Value Boost

The Rainbow mutation is one of the best in the game. It increases the value of the fruit by about 100 times. This makes the Butterfly one of the best pets for earning high profits, especially when used with fruits that already have high base value.

Smart Skipping Feature
If you have favorited a fruit to save its existing mutations, the Butterfly will skip it. This ensures that your best mutation combinations are not lost by accident.

Tips to Improve Your Chances and Use
  1. Focus on Honey production. Use sprinklers, efficient fruit layout, and Honey-generating pets like the Bear Bee to farm Honey faster.
  2. Use pets or items that reduce egg hatching time. Pets like the Chicken or items like the Blood Kiwi help you hatch eggs more quickly.
  3. Be patient. A 1 percent chance means it could take many tries. Keep going and stay motivated.
  4. Arrange fruits with five or more mutations near the Butterfly's active area to take full advantage of its ability.
  5. Combine the Butterfly with other pets that increase fruit size or value to earn even more.

Obtaining the Butterfly pet in Grow a Garden is a journey that demands patience, a bit of luck, and a good understanding of the game's crafting mechanics. However, the reward – a pet that can consistently produce highly valuable Rainbow-mutated fruits – makes every crafted Anti Bee Egg and every minute spent grinding worth it for any serious Grow a Garden player aiming for ultimate garden prosperity. Happy hatching!
