Frutterfly[1] is a period-4 oscillator, and is among the smallest true-period-4 oscillators not based on mold.
It can nontrivially interact with one or two appropriate still lifes, such as a tub, beehive, loaf or mango, and is arbitrarily extensible.[2]

Occurrences in Catagolue
| A predecessor from the third G2_2 soup, which in generation 56 becomes an 11*14 44-cell predecessor of two frutterflies with debris, that is the most common origin in reflectionally-symmetric soups. (click above to open LifeViewer) |
Frutterfly has not occurred in an asymmetric soup in Life. However, it has occurred semi-naturally six times combined in the C2_2, G2_2, D4_x1 and D4_x4 censuses, which are no more conducive to orthogonally-reflectionally-symmetrical occurrences than C1.[3] In one of the G2_2 soups, the two halves don't interact at all, making the equivalent C1 16×16 soup also produce a frutterfly.[4]
In alien rules, frutterfly has occurred in asymmetric soups in B37e/S23-q.[5]
