does anyone know the collective term for a group of butterflies?

I'm sure it's a swarm - but it'd sound nicer if it was a a "flutter" wouldn't it?

I've seen Kaleidoscope, and one source suggests Rabble...

[Metz]

I've seen Flight and Rabble :o)

[SteveD]

According to this list, it's a "rabble" or "swarm":
