What 🦋 means
A butterfly. Transformation and delicacy, and a heavy favourite in aesthetic posts.
If you are trying to read into it
A butterfly. Transformation, and butterflies in the stomach, which is where the romantic reading comes from. It is also purely decorative in a lot of bios, so it is weaker evidence of anything than people assume.
