Perfect photobomb turns lady into a beautiful butterfly

Some very magical content.

Is it a bird? Is it a fairy? Is it a perfectly-timed coincidence?

Redditor Alsatianson shared a photobomb on Thursday that is almost too good to be true.

In the picture, a gorgeous butterfly landed on his shoulder, just as an elderly woman was passing behind him. The result is something straight out of a children's mythical cartoon: a beautiful winged lady.

What makes this photo even better is the little kid looking at the butterfly lady through the magnifying glass.

If that child didn't believe in magic before, they certainly must now.
