Living butterflies don't hold their forewings ahead of their head, and instead keep them further back - forming a shape more like a trapezoid. It's only when they're pinned up for display that the wings are set in the positions shown in the emoji. So the butterfly emoji depicts a dead butterfly. ☹️

🏝 OpenMoji is on hold over summer (project maintainers are out of office until Oct 2021).

This seems to be a thing in a lot of other emoji libraries.

How's the following replacement look? I tried to base the overall shape on this image of a Large Blue.

It passed all the checks on the openmoji-tester. I'll make a pull request shortly. Let me know if it needs any stylistic changes.

thank you @RobertWinslow the butterfly looks good for me!
the only detail i would tweak is the blue filling –
there's a little white gap at the bottom of the body.
