Butterflies are 3D, this depiction is 2D. Whether it's an accurate depiction depends on the viewing angle in addition to what the butterfly is doing - here's some photography of monarch butterflies, including a few side shots that would have the wings swept forward if it was viewed from behind: https://www.neurotraveler.com/home/2022/9/20/bif-butterflies-in-flight https://www.neurotraveler.com/home/2022/9/20/bif-butterflies... Mostly seems to be when they're trying to land on a flower such as in this one: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bf6c9266c078c4008aadb/a65d8d4a-529f-4794-b56f-a6a0c9489b1a/LR-C00080088.jpg?format=1500w https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9bf6c9266c07...

That butterfly isn't T-posing though. The butterfly T-pose you see in human created images has that black line holding up the wings be perfectly perpendicular to the body. See this for example, they drew the butterfly as a bunch of T-posing sequences, it doesn't look like that when flying at all, it T-posing in one image would make sense but they do it for every image usually which is really off: https://media.istockphoto.com/id/185302115/photo/monarch-butterflies-in-various-flying-positions-isolated-on-white.jpg?s=612x612&w=0&k=20&c=udu8yxaweiz0p87JJbL4oMriV09zLrtIvfnSA-GxZOM= https://media.istockphoto.com/id/185302115/photo/monarch-but...
