What insect lends its name to the concept that tiny actions can have massive consequences?

• Butterfly:The butterfly effect is a phenomenon wherein a small action can have a large consequence. The concept was coined after meteorologist Edward Lorenz theorized that the flap of a butterfly’s wings might ultimately cause a tornado. He noted that the butterfly effect is drawn from the metaphorical example of the details of a tornado being influenced by minor perturbations such as a distant butterfly flapping its wings several weeks earlier. The butterfly effect concept has since been used outside the context of weather as a broad term for any situation in which a small change can have large consequences.
