The butterfly shape are stellar outflows from the poles of the young star. The outflow is bipolar because an equatorial disk of material surrounding the star constrains the wind to flow out from the two polar regions. This disk may be the material that will eventually form planets around the star. Another possibility is that the star's magnetic field forces the outflow into a direction perpendicular to the equatorial disk.

Billy asked me to post this image. It is from this site: http://www.geckzilla.com/art/v/385
" Here’s another image from the extensive survey of protostars in Orion A. There are some interesting dynamics going on here and a number of stars shining on structures to provide insight into the three dimensional nature of the nebula.Of particular interest is the butterflyshaped flow in the lower-left quadrant."
Nice image, Billy 😃
