Large Butterfly Coloring Page

About this butterfly coloring page

• One large butterfly filling almost the whole page, drawn in black ink with detailed wing veins and spots.
• Realistic style – closer to a nature illustration than a cartoon, so you can color it true to life or in any colors you like.
• Format: a full-page landscape JPG (about 2 MB) that prints on A4 or US Letter paper.

How to print and color it

1. Click Download under the image. The full-size page opens – save it to your computer.
2. Print with “fit to page” and the best quality setting.
3. For colored pencils, regular printer paper works well. For markers, watercolor or gel pens, use thicker paper or cardstock (160–200 gsm) so the color doesn’t bleed through.
4. Want several smaller butterflies? Print at 50% or two pages per sheet.
