How it's made
- Source
- large, light wings pushing air at only 4–12 beats per second. Each downstroke is a soft puff of displaced air: low-passed pink noise centred at 150–600 Hz, 25–70 ms, with no pitch at all.
- Body
- the dry, papery wing membrane adds a faint rustle on each stroke (band-limited noise at 1.5–4 kHz, far below the puff); no buzz, no tone, no shimmer.
- Rhythm
- butterflies flap in short bursts of 2–7 beats and then glide, rising and falling as they flit, so the beat rate wanders (±25 %), bursts are separated by 0.1–1 s glides, and the level and stereo position drift slowly as the insect bobs nearer and farther.
- Resting
- on a flower the wings open and close slowly (one stroke every 0.8–2 s), each stroke longer and softer.
- Variation
- `rng` draws every burst length, glide gap, beat interval, strength and puff colour; the position drifts slowly across; distance low-passes the puffs and softens the rustle.
