Monospace fonts preserve the intended spacing. Use fenced code blocks or preformatted text in apps that collapse repeated spaces, and check backslashes when pasting into source code.
Read the drawing
How this butterfly ascii art works
Two mirrored slash pairs form the upper and lower wings, and the body is a row of hyphens with two round eyes at the centre. The symmetry is doing all the work — each side is the exact reverse of the other.
Copy it without breaking the spacing
Backslash-heavy, which is the main risk. Anywhere Markdown is active the backslashes may be read as escapes and removed, leaving a butterfly with only its right wings. Paste as plain text and check both sides.

Make your own variation
Add a row to each wing to enlarge it, mirroring the change on both sides. Replacing the eyes with full stops gives a smaller, quieter body.

How do I copy butterfly ascii art without breaking it?
Use the copy button so the whole value is captured, including the spaces, line breaks and less common characters that hold its shape together. Paste it as plain text: editors and chat apps that read Markdown can treat backslashes, underscores and asterisks as formatting and remove them, and auto-correct may replace straight quotes or collapse repeated spaces.
Will butterfly ascii art work everywhere?
Monospace fonts preserve the intended spacing. Use fenced code blocks or preformatted text in apps that collapse repeated spaces, and check backslashes when pasting into source code.
Can I customise butterfly ascii art after copying?
You can add a short label, repeat compatible symbols or trim the design to fit. Keep important spaces, line breaks and uncommon Unicode characters intact while editing.
