The two types of figurative language used in the paragraph are:
Simile - "as beautiful as a summer sunset" is a simile because it compares the butterfly's beauty to a sunset using "as."
Personification - The butterfly is described as "danced across the lawn," giving it human-like qualities.
So the correct answers are simile and personification.
