No, a butterfly does not have a coiled shell. Butterflies are insects with a soft body and an exoskeleton, but they do not possess a shell like mollusks such as snails or clams. Instead, butterflies have wings covered in scales and undergo metamorphosis, transitioning from larva to pupa before becoming an adult.
