No, butterflies are not saprotrophic. They are primarily herbivorous as adults, feeding on nectar from flowers, while their larvae (caterpillars) may consume plant leaves. Saprotrophic organisms, like fungi and certain bacteria, obtain nutrients by decomposing dead organic matter, which is not the feeding strategy of butterflies.
