Help needed re butterflies!

[squidmonk3j]

um, i need to find som pics of butterfly flight, high fps rate! i've tried google and all, but i can't find anything! i'm sure there's a name for the technique photographers use to capture falling drops, bullets and such, and i figured this might've been applied to butterfly flight.

i really ned this for the comic i'm working on, but i've got the flu, my head feels like it's stuffed with cotton and the deadline is approaching....so any help with this would be greatly appreciated:)

Pretty sure it's stroboscopic photography. National Geographic did an article on it in the early 90's I think.

Do a search for Edgerton Strobe Photography. Edgerton was the guy who invented the technique. He worked at MIT. It's all shots of bullets going through apples though, no butterflies.
