"'''Butterfly Caught'''" is a song on English [trip hop](/source/trip_hop) collective [Massive Attack](/source/Massive_Attack)'s fourth full-length album, ''[100th Window](/source/100th_Window)''. It was released as the second single from this album on 16 June 2003. The song was written by [Neil Davidge](/source/Neil_Davidge) and [Robert Del Naja](/source/Robert_Del_Naja), the latter of whom performs vocals on the song.

A video for the song was made, featuring Del Naja in a series of [body horror](/source/body_horror) sequences where his body is transformed into that which resembles a [Death's-head hawkmoth](/source/Death's-head_hawkmoth) while a live moth flutters its wings in time to the lighting in the room, which themselves flash in time to the beat of the song. The video was directed by [South Africa](/source/South_Africa)n Daniel Levi.
