Butterfly

A butterfly, a beautiful winged insect whose larva is a caterpillar. Depicted with its wings outspread, as a blue-and-black morpho butterfly or orange-and-black monarch butterfly depending on the platform.

Given the notable design divergence between platforms, the draft Emoji 18.0 repertoire includes a distinct 🫌 Monarch Butterfly emoji. Emoji 18.0 is expected for approval in September 2026.
