Donating to the Museum in City Folk
Upon donating to the Museum, Blathers the curator will say;

"I must commend you for catching this particular type of butterfly! The agrias butterfly's atypical flight pattern has earned it the nickname "King of the Butterflies." It's such a swift flier that most enthusiasts who attempt to catch one rely on traps, eh wot? I daresay I'd lose a race with this flittering thing... Though I'd likely pass out from mortal revulsion first. "

It can found flying in the bottom terrace by the entrance of the insect room, with other butterflies.
