I´m Estonian with some other extraction, but I know Finnish.
Natlang words for butterfly seem mostly onomatopoetic or compound - I found
Yoruba labalaba in your list and can juxtapose it to a Livonian word
libalaba (a nearly extinct language in Latvia, on the eastern shore of the
Baltic Sea). So conlangs may do better as natural ones.
