Look at this lovely butterfly! We see her from the side, like she’s floating past us.

She has a pair of beautiful, large wings — delicate and colorful, like painted silk. She is fluttering her wings gently, dancing from flower to flower in a sunny garden.

Her head is round and a little bigger than her slender body. She has big, oval-shaped eyes that notice everything around her. Below her eyes, she has a long, curly mouth (called a proboscis) that she uses like a straw to sip sweet nectar from flowers.

Right now, she looks alert and curious — turning her head slightly, watching, smelling, and exploring her flowery world. Maybe she’s looking for a safe place to rest, or a bright new blossom to visit next.

Butterflies like her bring color, movement, and magic to gardens. If you also love this beautiful butterfly, you can follow the step-by-step instructions below to learn how to draw her—it's not difficult!
