This kind of story could be told in a science - fiction novel, though it may not be a common theme.
I'm not sure of a specific book off - hand that features mercury prominently. However, in general, science fiction often takes elements from the real world and twists them in creative ways.

I'm not sure of a very well - known one that specifically focuses on butterflies, but in a broader sense, in novels that deal with genetic modification and evolution in a sci - fi context, butterflies could be used as an example of a species that has been altered.
