美國攝影師 Robert Campbell 上個月在柬埔寨 Bokor Mountain 拍攝時，突然有一群飛蛾包圍著他的 Sony a7R III 相機，他即時拍下此奇景分享到 Instagram ＠robertcampbellstudio，吸引了 20 萬人瀏覽短片。

Morning on Bokor Mountain, Kampot, Cambodia. These gorgeous butterflies covered me from head to toe as I sat for an hour on the edge of the steep forested escarpment sloping down to the sea. In Cambodia working on a documentary about Lauren Iida and the artists of @openstudiokampot #butterflies

雖然攝影師在 IG 寫著包圍相機的是「butterflies」，但從影片可見牠們在停下來時翅膀是攤開的，所以應為飛蛾。根據國家地理雜誌的資料，蝴蝶休息時卻會合起翅膀，這是兩者最明顯的區別。

為甚麼突然會有數十隻飛蛾撲向相機呢？英國蝴蝶保育組織 Butterfly Conservation 估計，相機可能沾滿了攝影師的手汗，引來了飛蛾吸收汗液中的鹽分。

有網民分享類似的經驗，一群蝴蝶正包圍著航拍機不斷飛舞：

「飛蛾撲火」常常都可以見到，但包圍相機卻是較為罕見呢，如果你遇上這樣的情況，會感到幸運還是害怕呢？
