Little boy releases butterfly only for it to get squashed seconds later

A little boy released a butterfly only for it to get squashed when a stranger accidentally trod on it seconds later.

Mom Jadyn Neumann, 30, from Colorado, USA captured the moment her husband, Tyler, 32, and their little boy, Elliot, four, prepared to release the insect into the wild.

But a moment of joy quickly turned into horror when the butterfly flew low to the ground and a stranger unknowingly stepped on it - squashing it.
