Buttonflies are insect-like enemies that first appear in the stage Flower Fields in Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn. They appear as a green button with black threads as eyes, a pair of short wings and antennae.
Buttonflies fly in place in a circular motion. Unlike Buttonbees and Buttonbugs, they cannot damage Kirby, only being able to slightly bump him on contact.
They can be defeated using any of Kirby's attacks; the yarn whip or his transformations. Rolling one up yields a singular homing yarn ball, which will fly into an enemy it is thrown at.
The Buttonfly is featured as the primary design of the Buttonfly Fabric, obtained after completing Buster's 4th request of Buster's Training.
