T-rex Vs Butterfly

[olddog]

While i was flying my T-rex in my garden this morning, i witnessed something i have never seen before. A common white butterfly seemed to be attracted from about 20 ft away & flew straight into the rotor, as if hypnotized, He flew directly into the top of the rotor, with the inevitable result. Not one, not two, but about 10, in a 15min flight. It was as thought they were mesmorised by the flashing of the blades in the sunlight. Has anyone else witnessed this, or got any ideas as to why they did this ? Ray
