Are butterflies in your home in winter good luck?

Yes, a butterfly in your home is considered good luck, regardless of the time of year. It is also thought that if the first butterfly you see in the year is white, good luck will follow you all that year, but if that butterfly is brown, then misfortune will be your companion. It is thought that seeing three butterflies together is a bad omen, and that to see a butterfly at night means death is fast approaching. Others believe butterflies represent to souls of unbaptised children and in Scotland, red butterflies are thought to be the manifestations of witches. Then again it is also said that "he that follows freits, freits will follow him".
