NFL Network's Mike Garafolo Startled By Particularly Aggressive Butterfly at Eagles Training Camp

Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network was reporting from Philadelphia today outside Eagles camp when he was attacked by a creature with wings. Unfortunately for Garafolo's tough guy reputation, that creature was a butterfly so when he reacted like a bald eagle or ice dragon was bearing down on him, he looked a little silly.
Did @MikeGarafolo think this butterfly stung like a bee? ? ??♂️@nflnetwork pic.twitter.com/VpIWVqGmQw

To his credit, he leaned into it. By "it" I mean the jokes, not the butterfly. As Garafolo points out, it was a big butterfly. At this point the best thing for him would be if a Lepidopterologist could confirm that this was a larger than average butterfly. It's that's your standard butterfly, all the jokes on Twitter stand, but if that was indeed a big butterfly, he should be considered a hero for finishing his segment.
Just gonna lean into this. Go ahead. Take your shots. Everybody. I can take it. Let’s just remain in line in an orderly fashion. https://t.co/UHHiEB0nYc
