I had a difficult time in both attaching the wings and making it look
like a butterfly once I did get them attached.  Here's a slight change
I made, and the results worked surprisingly well.  (Well, surprising to
me anyway.)
When I inflate the balloon for the wings, I leave about 1 to 2 inches
in both the tail and the nozzle ends.  I tie the ends together, leaving
the  danglings.  I then make 2 large loops, and attach it to the
catapiller around the 'neck'.  The 2 dangling ends look like it's
wearing a bow tie, or ribbon around it's neck.  You got a butterfly
with two round wings now.  I take the bottom 1/3 of the wings and give
then a large ear twist.  The result looks like this:
           ___       ___
          / _ \     / _ \ 
         ( /  \ \O/ /  \ )
          \ \ / /O\ \ / /
           \_|_/ O \_|_/
           / | \   / | \
           \_|_/   \_|_/
                
Hope this is as clear to you folks as it is to me.  I've just started
in to the wonderful world of twisting, so if this is old news, feel
free to  throw things (folding money preferred) at the newbie.
