I've been told it is good luck, So maybe you got some good luck coming your way? :)
What does it mean when a butterfly lands on my leg?
If you believe in the supernatural, a butterfly landing on your leg could be a spirit of a loved one coming to visit you. I've had this kind of butterfly visiting me for about six months now:
It probably means it's hungry. Butterflies smell the salt and sugar in your sweat and blood and land on you to feed.
It is unusual for a butterfly to land on a human,
as they are constantly moving around., and naturally quite timid insects. Humans also obviously don't provide any
benefits for a butterfly in the way that flowers do, therefore there
is no biological reason for them landing on a human. In fact, what happened to you is
pretty rare!
Having a butterfly land on you is very symbolic though, and there are lots of different beliefs as to what this unusual event means:
Some people think that when a butterfly lands on
you, it is a sign of good luck, as it doesn't happen to many people. You have been picked out by the butterfly.
Other people believe that a butterfly can be a sign
from God. When the butterfly lands on you, this represents God
making contact with you for a reason.
Butterflies are also interpreted as a symbol of change coming your way. This is associated with the way a butterfly is the result of a metamorphosis from a caterpillar.
I'm not sure which of these I believe, but as all of the interpretations are positive, I think it is safe to assume that it is a positive thing that
this little creature landed on you.
