The new butterflies (pictured below) have cutouts in the wings, giving them a more abstract style than the original realistic style (above). So, feel free to be a little looser with your interpretation. The bare metal butterflies will be in the roundabout during this process, for viewing and wind testing. And hopefully no minivan testing. After the winners are selected, the butterflies will all be taken down in mid to late winter for painting. They will return for the grand opening in the spring of 2026.

And then we all smile for the group photo.
