A butterfly which could be used for a Rorschach test (at a bit of a push).

Butterflies are very fragile - they fall apart when you push them.

When DD was about 3 and encountered butterflies with some relish, she excitedly renamed them 'flutterbys'. I think I like it better.

I understand that the use of "flutterby" for "butterfly" is a simple case of syllabic transposition, practised by children since time immemorable.
