Butterfly in a Jar

The Butterfly in a Jar is a unique miscellaneous item. It features a live butterfly that flies around inside a jar. There are other types of jars like this that can be found throughout Skyrim; each jar contains a different insect.

Also, the word "pig" is etched into the bottom of the lid, visible only when you move the jar and turn it upside down.

Possible Theory with bug jars

 * The writing under the lid may actually be a runic langauge. It is debated that this might be a huge easter egg, that need the right combination of steps (as detailed by the runic messages under the lids) and/or triggered by a certain date (such as the beginning of the new year).
