All matters of butterflies scrutinized
Manners overlooked

The wind composes the dumbest of instruments
Flowery and flowing the butterfly moves

Nets come up empty but never flailing
Because gilded butterflies count for bonus points

I like this little piece a lot. So much said in such a tight poem.

L3... might be better with a substitution for "dumbest".
L4... I would be tempted to replace "moves" with "flutters" for the alliterative effect you have started.
L5... might be better with "ever" instead of "never".

Ta ! (short for tarradiddle),
