Butterflies have been featured in several sketches on The Muppet Show, including:

• "Elusive Butterfly" on episode 107
• "The Butterfly" on episode 120
• A giant butterfly whacks Gonzo during the opening theme song in episode 304.

A moth features prominently at the beginning of OK Go's music video of "The Muppet Show Theme," in which it is swatted at by Sweetums.
