In response to "I had an excellent time at the Museum of Natural Arts and Sciences in Houston today. I especially liked the butterfly exhibit. While there were plenty" by Qale

Naath, home island of Messande in Game of Thrones is known for it's butterflies....book spoiler

A large species of butterfly on Naath is a carrier for a horrific disease that makes the flesh literally slough off of a man's bones, but the Naathi themselves are immune to it. For centuries, would-be foreign invaders would end up succumbing to the "butterfly fever", and the Naathi say none maintained a presence on the island for more than a single year.
