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.

Occurrences in Catagolue

Frutterfly has occurred in asymmetric soups in B37e/S23-q,[2] but not in Life. However, it has occurred semi-naturally once in the C2_2 census, which is no more conducive to reflectionally-symmetrical occurrences than C1.[3]
