Cuta yarn and weave in the end.

Antennae

R: crochet 4 sc in a little square directly to the top of the head (4 sc)
R: 4 sc
R: 4 sc
R: 4 sc
R: 4 inc (8 sc)
R: 4 dec (4 sc)

Cut yarn and weave in the end. Then do the other antenna in the same way on the other side of the head.

Wings

You can either do the wings one time (for example if you plan to hang the butterfly on a wall) or you do it twice and sew both pieces together so that they look the same from either side. If you want to do it simple, you’ll have to do the upper part of the wings 2x and the bottom part also 2x. When you want to do it twice. you’ll have to crochet the upper part 4 x and the bottom part also 4x.
Upper part (2 – 4 x)

Choose your first color:

R: 6 sc into magic ring
R: 6 inc (12 sc)
R: [sc, inc] 6 x (18 sc)
R: [2 sc, inc] 6 x (24 sc)

Change to your second color:

R: [3 sc, inc] 6 x (30 sc)

Change to your third color:

R: [4 sc, inc] 6 x (36 sc)
R: (do dc in this round) [5 dc, inc] 6 x (42 dc)

Cut yarn and weave in all ends

bottom part (2 – 4 x)

In your first color:

R: 6 sc into magic ring
R: 6 inc (12 sc)
R: [sc, inc] 6 x (18 sc)
R: [2 sc, inc] 6 x (24 sc)

Change to your second color:

R: [3 sc, inc] 6 x (30 sc)

Change to your third color:

R: [4 sc, inc] 6 x (36 sc)

Cut yarn and weave in all ends

Next you sew the two bottom parts together, so that they touch at the side. Then you sew the two upper parts together in the same way. Finally sew the upper part to the bottom part. If you did a second pair of wings, you should sew it onto the first pair of wings, now. In the end you sew the wings to the body of your crocheted butterfly.

Note :of course you can embroider a face for your butterfly as you see it in the pictures.
