All ten types of butterflies in terrariums.
Sims can catch both butterflies and beetles in The Sims 3, as part of the Collecting skill. Bugs are caught via the "Catch" interaction when you see butterflies fluttering in the air, or beetles crawling on the ground. Different types of bugs can be found in different places, and it may take your sims quite a while to locate the rarest and most valuable bugs.

Bug Collecting can be used to earn money. You can sell beetles and butterflies directly from your sim's inventory, though selling them to the science facility will earn you even greater money.

You can also place your bugs in terrariums simply by dragging the bug out of your inventory. Terrariums can be placed on the floor or tables, and can stack up to four high. You don't have to tend the bugs in the terrariums once they're placed - they simply become a living decoration that your sims can view.

You can give your bugs names, whether they're in inventory or in the terrarium.
