Meaning of Butterfly

How is it used in conversation?

For a garden photo, try “A tiny visitor among the flowers 🦋”. For a new beginning, explain the change: “Excited about this next step 🦋”. The reader then does not have to guess at the symbol.

Wing colors differ across artwork. If you are discussing a butterfly species or its actual colors, write the description or include a photograph rather than relying on the emoji design.
