This isn't fully accurate. Look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUZmkw6YY0o#t=33s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUZmkw6YY0o#t=33s to see a butterfly in flight that does approximately manage the t-pose (the camera isn't at quite the right angle, but it's clear to see that the forewings are very forward and basically in t-pose). So butterflies in flight _do_ get this pose, from certain angles.
- tschwimmer 3y agoThank you, I came here to say this. It seems like in many species of butterflies, the tips of the wings come relatively far in front of the head at the "apex" of the "downstroke" of the wings during flight.
