🦋 How to draw a butterfly

A butterfly is perfectly symmetrical: a narrow body in the middle, with two wings on the left and two on the right.

Step by step

  1. Draw a narrow, vertical body in the middle.
  2. Add two wings on the left – a bigger one on top, a smaller one below.
  3. Mirror the wings onto the right side.
  4. Add two antennae at the top of the body.
  5. Optional: dots or patterns on the wings.

Tips for high recognition rates

Why these features matter is explained on the About the AI page: the neural network looks at the typical shape, not at clean lines.

Common mistake

Laying out the wings asymmetrically – for a butterfly both sides should be as mirror-equal as possible.
