I can't find these butterflies, what should I do?

[MisterZoo]

I followed the instructions on the official wiki, but I still can't find the three types of butterflies, 'Faded Butterfly', 'Smoldering Butterfly', and 'Honeyed Greytail'. I don't know what to do. Can someone tell me the correct method to catch them?

I have the same problem I was wondering if you managed to get the faded

I later realized that I misunderstood, and that the item to be used should be the Incense Bottle (Alchemy) instead of a smoker.

Sorry, I just said 'Smoldering Butterfly'.
Faded Butterfly are effective only when using a smoker to calm nearby bees.
I'm not completely sure about Honeyed Greytail, but I caught it on a new moon night. You can go and see it every night.

Just to mention, I recently added a butterfly list including all the latest additions if anyone needs a quick reference; it's in the Guides section.

I found all the butterflies but struggling to find the Honeyed Greytail. I saw you asking Ell if it had any special conditions. Has anyone figured what actually causes it to spawn? I've tried multiple nights, with incenses, cleared trees for better visibility, but still no luck.
