 Butterfree seems to be based on the {{wp|Aporia crataegi|black-veined white}} {{wp|butterfly}}.
-Butterfree's parallels to Beedrill could possibly be a reference to the phrase "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee", which was coined by American boxer {{wp|Muhammad Ali}}. This is further backed by the phrase being used in the English dub of the [[Pokémon anime|anime]] as "floating like a Butterfree and stinging like a Beedrill".
