This shape fits exactly onto itself three times when it is rotated
through a full turn about its centre.
We get an unchanged appearance when
the tips of the toes (or any other three similar
reference points) have moved through one third of a turn,
or two thirds of a turn, or
a full turn so that they have
come back to where they started, giving the same effect as staying put.
Doing any number of repetitions of these three turns will not take the
toes to anywhere other than these three positions.
This shape has what's called
rotational symmetry of order 3.
There is a new possibility for this shape. Each wing reflects exactly onto the other wing about a mirror line running through the centre of the body. On the other hand, rotating the butterfly shape so that it looks unchanged is only possible if you take it through a full turn. This means that the butterfly shape has two possible symmetry transformations.
