Ben,

Actually I was going to let you know how well it imitated a butterfly. With the FLED
and a 3 cell panel sometimes it makes many fine flutters (3/sec) and other times
wider, slower movements such as a butterfly might make when drying its wings. The rate
doesn't seem to be directly related to the intensity of the light or whether the FLED
is covered or not.
