I was coming down the River Congo in 2003 on a huge barge and I watched a butterfly (I assume as it was during the day) pass over the barge. I watched it for probably a minute - it was flapping it's wings a couple of times and then gliding which I'd never see a butterfly do. It passed maybe 3 meters over my head and I estimated a 12" wing span. When I got back to civilisation I found that no butterfly that big existed. And the strange animal that was halfway between an ant eater and an antelope which I'd photographed still hasn't been identified. Just goes to show that there are still things out there to discover.
