Possible associations
A butterfly may evoke stages of change or getting used to a new identity. Light flight can suggest ease, while trying to catch it may bring a wish to hold a passing moment.
A butterfly settling on a flower differs from moving continually, bringing pauses and motion within change into focus. You do not need to resolve an entire transition at once. Losing sight of it may also recall appreciating a pleasant period only after it has passed.
A different scene, a different association
A free butterfly
Consider an area where change feels lighter or more possible.
Catching a butterfly

If it fits, notice and name a small change from recent days.
A pale butterfly: a delicate renewal
