May 20: Canada Violets looking like butterflies -- but why?

I've written about Canada Violets before but they now cover the forest floor like never before. They  look like little butterflies!

Other flowers also mimic butterflies, but I have not yet found an explanation of why flowers do this, except maybe to attract butterflies. Does anyone know?
