Today we will be studying Item number SCP-553: Crystalline Butterflies, Object class: Safe.


SCP-553 is a colony of approximately 140,000 winged organisms superficially resembling butterflies. They possess a silicon-based biochemistry and are composed primarily of calcium and silicate compounds. 
Members of SCP-553 primarily rely on a form of echolocation to sense their surroundings. When any adult instance of SCP-553 suffers significant damage, it produces a unique sonar signature which alerts all other nearby adults to the presence of danger. 
 
Adults will swarm the perceived source of danger and proceed to attack it by attempting to slice it with their wings. 
 
Incident 553-04-Gamma: On 05/21/20[REDACTED], 21 instances of SCP-553 escaped their containment chamber due to an improperly sealed access door. SCP-553 displayed a high degree of pattern recognition and target analysis and quickly focused their attacks on the exposed, fleshy parts of the containment personnel, attempting to capture them, particularly the throat and face.
