The Waterman "Butterfly" World Map is a map projection created by Steve Waterman. Waterman first published a map in this arrangement in 1996. The arrangement is an unfolding of a polyhedral globe with the shape of a truncated octahedron, evoking the butterfly map principle first developed by Bernard J.S. Cahill (1866–1944) in 1909

Waterman Butterfly map of the world – coastlines, graticule, and indicatrices: Image title: A map of the world, showing all landmasses with 10° graticule and Tissot's indicatrices of diameter 1,000 km and spacing 30°. Coastlines precise to 110 km. Width: 1600: Height: 897.998
In the same work as the hemisphere-in-a-square projection, Adams created maps depicting the entire globe in a rhombus, hexagon, and hexagram. [7] [8] Bernard J. S. Cahill invented the "butterfly map", based on the octahedron, in 1909. This was generalized into the Cahill–Keyes projection in 1975 and the Waterman butterfly projection in 1996.

So, as a hint, the butterfly you need to look out for has a lot more whitespace on its wings than the other butterflies in the photo. (Meaning, less dark spots appear on the wings on the targeted ...
Goode homolosine projection of the world. Tissot indicatrix on Goode homolosine projection, 15° graticule. The Goode homolosine projection (or interrupted Goode homolosine projection) is a pseudocylindrical, equal-area, composite map projection used for world maps. Normally it is presented with multiple interruptions, most commonly of the ...
