caught, as a butterfly (6)
I believe the answer is:
netted
'caught as a butterfly' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for netted that I've seen before include "Caught fish, perhaps, and made clear profit" , "Gained as profit" , "Caught (like butterfly)" , "Captured" , "As a whole" .)
