I caught an extremely fleeting glimpse of a butterfly yesterday with
wings of such a pale beige that it looked almost like a sliver of
tortoiseshell with the light shining through it. It flitted past me so
quickly I had no chance to register much more! At this rate, I'll soon
be seen leaping around the garden with a fishing net!

I know what you mean. An afternoon's planned gardening soon becomes a
butterfly/moth photographing and id-ing exercise. I haven't wafted a
net around yet, but I did save a Jersey Tiger Moth from a huge spider's
web. That's dedication, that is! :~)

I'd called that selfless! ;-)
