You can order sheets of butterflies at Sugarcraft.com. They have instructions on the website and sell the antennae too! (+ lots of other cool stuff)

I'm with Becca, the rice paper/vellum ones look real! People are always so impressed!

Here is the tutorial on CC for making the butterflies out of rice/wafer paper if you so choose to. Jen
