I think it works nicely as an abstract photo. If you are trying to capture "butterfly" I think you need a lighter background as the body of the insect almost disappears leaving you with the patter on the wings. If you want to take it the abstract route, a closer crop, maybe even getting rid of the body and the black left hand side would leave you focused on the strong, contrasty patterns on the wings.

I agree with jvgig and their suggestions for how you may change the photo slightly to please you more, but I think its a wonderful shot, I really like it
