The graphic disappears in other browsers, too. Remove the negative 
margin top of -200px in #butterfly and html > body #butterfly. The float 
is vertically moving up as high as possible, and next to the floating 
#header once there is enough room to the left of it.

I'd use absolute positioning. Move the butterfly into the header

<div id="header">
        <h1>acts</h1>
        ...
        <div id="butterfly">&nbsp;</div>
</div>


Containing block for the butterfly:

#header {
        position:relative;
        ...
        /* z-index:5 */ /* not needed */
        }


Replace the rules with

#butterfly {
        position: absolute;
        top: -75px;
        right: -50px;
        width: 152px;
        height: 161px;
        background-image: url(path/butterfly.gif);
        }


IE6+7 has problems with your sidebar, as
#content { clear: both; float: right; ...
does not clear #header [1], and sidebar flows up once the screen is wide 
enough. Even clear:both in sidebar wouldn't stop it. The 
margin-left:150px in header cannot prevent this, and looks ugly when the 
  window is sized.

My standalone IE6 side-by-side IE7 seems to be way too slow to handle 
the transparency on your page. IE6 needs seconds to react on window 
resize. If this is happening on your side too, I'd drop the effects for IE6.
