Two cute local butterflies are out and about at the moment,

In these stills  I've managed to freeze the take-off of this fast little thing,  from this they can propel themselves vertically about 8 times their height from a standing start in just 0.1 of a second. Impressive, got to avoid being bird food!  You don't see the take of , they just disappear.

enjoy
