I toned down the brightness of the seed heads and flower top right. I did a little light brushing here and there attempting to convey the surroundings without making them intrusive.
All C&C welcome
I like where you were going with this, but the placement of the butterfly low in the frame looking out of it isn't ideal. The habitat is somewhat divided between far out of focus grasses and nearer flowers and grasses. If it were one or the other the composition would be stronger in my mind's eye.
Again I agree with Ron. Sweet subject and soft light but compositionally lacking for me. I find myself wishing that I was there so I could see how I would have done it differently.....

I agree from a presentational viewpoint the composition could have been better but I wanted to convey the chaotic, natural appearance of the scene, probably one of those moment where you have to have been there if you get my drift.
