I've not seen any on a butterfly, but I took some photos of a Lizard recently and found it had three ticks on its body around the foreleg.

Ticks or mites? I've photographed butterflies and bees with mites before.

You can clearly see the red mite on the comma in my picture taken last summer if you click on the link.
