There is quite a variation in its wing position while flying: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odvYot6Rldw&ab_channel=Earth...
So at least some butterflies do actually move their forewings significantly forward of their head while in flight (as stated by edamstra on June 2nd, 2017 - comment on the OP link)
I took a look at some slow mo videos and midflight photos, and these were really interesting. In particular what seemed interesting is how in some videos they almost like swam through the air in which case they did extend their wings up front as if to grab air under it and then they brought them back down. So the animation on the web app is more static, but I don't think it's fair to call it a dead butterfly based on that. Also I think I now understand why there's a swimming technique called butterfly.
Seeing those slow mo videos and some of the images in the edamstra link I think it's a bit unfair to criticise some of the things like earrings etc, because with many of those it's very plausible they could be mid-flight moments (especially earrings as they are literally in the air).
And the "dead butterfly" shirt seems to be very aware and all of those could be same butterfly during its flight representing all the possible positions.
