蝶 = 枼 + 虫 : Dorothy Gale (di) pursues a very special hobby in the elevator's kitchen (e2). She has a large wooden desk (枼) with lots of watercolors. Whenever a mosquito (虫) lands on her desk, she colors it with her watercolors very carefully and thus changes it into a butterfly (蝶). Dorothy is very popular with the mosquitoes.
