Was there something more to your intent for this post?
All I could come up with was an animal spirit showing up as a harbinger or guide. Don't remember if gazing at insects, or their activity, is effective as an entry point. A.P. position modeling through sympatico?
Or I'm thinking too much, and you just like butterflies! 🦋

Not really, I just saw it and thought of here. I think somewhere in the books moths are equated with knowledge, though this is a butterfly. I've always been fascinated by moths and butterflies, which began as a bit of a phobia of them flying into my mouth, I think they used to be put in corpses' mouths in some culture or other to help them on their way through the afterlife.
This was on my threshold so I had a little look and was fascinated by the indigo tips to the antennae, it's the same colour as most of the lights I see in darkness, which I guess was the main reason.
I think things like this can act to arrest the internal dialogue. Not specifically this butterfly, really whatever's in each of our worlds, especially things that appear unexpectedly, if we pay attention. But we just gloss from one thing we're comfortable incorporating into the first attention to another without really looking. I'm half-expecting it to show up in a dream but lucid ones seem to come in cycles, it seems more or less to coincide with the 18-day thing but I'm not sure, then I'll get two or three nights of them in a row.

Half-way through the day before and the day of are strongest. Mirrors this (link below) in that it's not a spectator sport. Awareness, engagement, and evaluation being the rules of the game:
