But what is wrong with the butterfly the way it is?
Why can't this symbol be about a malformation that makes the butterfly unique?
And, maybe this butterfly is proud to be different, and not perfect.
Even our faces are not symmetrical. I've seen magazine articles were they've cut a persons picture in half, and duplicated one side by reversing it. Those celebrities looked weird.......

The butterfly is a symbol of transformation which is the main thing, I think. Otherwise it could be an apple (or something else), that grew in a weird shape but still stayed an apple (or whatever else), rather changing from one thing to another.
Transformation is a major theme of the symbol I believe, but I agree that the malformation can be unique, and the butterfly can be as proud as it likes of its transformation.
In the positive sense, the image I get of this degree is possibilities of more development. What has not finished and needs more time.
An unfinished transformation. I like that the butterfly has its potential intact.
I think in the negative sense it could be about an incomplete transformation that already is and can't be changed (the butterfly had finished developing).
