Of course you can. You can eat belly-button lint and the ends of Q-tips too. It's not illegal nor physically impossible to eat any of that
Whether you get sick or unduly affected, however, is a whole 'nother question altogether.

I wouldn't suggest it, but yes.
Many people around the world eat butterflies as a source of protien. A problem with eating any type of creature is that you're not really sure what could be on or inside. If there is bacteria on the butterfly, you're probably in for a nice trip to the ER. If there is a parasite inside the butterfly that you eat (I doubt there are many parasites inside a butterfly), it might infect you and that's not good.
Yes, you can eat butterflies. No, I wouldn't suggest it.

umm...havent heard of eating specifically butterflies. but some insects can be eaten, like grasshoppers or grubs. insects are generally a good source of protein.
(but i wouldnt eat one even if its edible...:D)

Off subject but ... Did you know that if you toss butter out of the door of a Cessna at 4500 ft butter flies?

Sauteed, they're quite delicious, but I prefer to eat mine raw.

I think if you are hungry enough you could eat any insect or animal
