jackgreen60 (or anyone else that cares...) Itzpapalotl (pronounced just like it looks...Itz-pop-a-lotl)
A fire goddess of the Aztecs, appearing in the form of a butterfly or occasionally a deer. The name Itzpapalotl means "Obsidian Butterfly"
Here's a page with some more detailed information on her mythology, including her association with buterfies.
Other deities wither butterfly asociations...
Chiowotamahke (Native American- The Pima, Arizona.)
Psyche (Greek)
Not many deities associated with butterflies. (There were a couple of others on the same website, but it didn't seem like the god or godess was particularly associated with butterflies, so much as a buterfly appeared on one of their myths.
