The two correct types of figurative language used in this paragraph are:

  1. Simile - "as beautiful as a summer sunset" compares the butterfly's beauty to a summer sunset using "as."
  2. Personification - "danced across the lawn" gives the butterfly the human-like ability to dance.

So, the answers are simile and personification.
