What you are seeing isn't actually blood. It's called meconium and it's the stored waste product from the pupal stage that the butterfly just completed.

Are butterflies born alive?

Butterflies lay eggs and attach them to leaves. When the egg hatches, a caterpillar emerges. The caterpillar will shed it's skin numerous times as it grows, until eventually it turns into a pupa or chrysalis by attaching itself to a leaf and shedding it's skin for the final time. This is the stage where metamorphosis takes place. Having reached it's adult stage, a butterfly emerges from the chrysalis.
