We present high spatial resolution HST imaging of the LMC compact H II regi
on N159-5. This high excitation blob is revealed to be a "papillon" or butt
erfly-shaped ionized nebula with the "wings" separated by similar to 2 ".3
(0.6 pc). Two subarcsecond features resembling a "smoke ring" and a "globul
e" are detected in the wings, the origin of which is briefly discussed. N15
9-5 may represent a new type of H II region in the Magellanic Clouds overlo
oked so far because of insufficient spatial resolution. Our images also sho
w a strikingly turbulent medium around the Papillon in the giant HII region
N 159, which manifests itself by a large number of subarcsecond filaments,
arcs, ridges, and fronts carved in the ionized gas by the stellar winds fr
om massive stars in the N 159 complex.
