I like the tones on the butterfly - very nice indeed, the lower flowers don't look to happy to me, a bit blocked if you know what I mean? The green background looks a little blue/green almost like some coniferous leaves sometimes do, probably genuine but I mention it in case you didn't double check the white balance.
The head and thorax don't appear (to me that is) quite so sharp as other parts of the image. Sounds a bit critical but I do like the image.

Nice vertical comp here. The butterfly looks to be in pretty good shape.

I agree that the head does not appear to be sharp.

I agree with all the other comments as well.
