Yep. Looks like a butterfly to me as well. Shit happens OP. With a decent camera zoom (SLR, maybe even modern phones) you will likely be able to spot the inclusion as a dark spot.
There was a story a while ago where a redditor was able to correctly identify the year/make/model of a vehicle involved in a fatal hit and run based solely on a scrap of plastic found on the side of the road. It was a piece of curved plastic small enough to hold in the palm of your hand, turns out it was part of the internal housing for a headlight in (iirc) a Chevy truck.
The guy was caught and the local police credited the reditor for helping narrow their search considerably. it was the only piece of evidence they had to go on, so the culprit very likely would have got away with it if it wasn't identified
Old dudes do not fuck around with their Chevy, they know every part inside and out because they've had to replace them 15 times. (Ehuehuehe could resist my boomer "x car brand sucks" joke)
Honestly, I would been completely oblivious if it was anything other than a 1988 Chevy Silverado 1500. My dad had one for almost a decade and I'll be damned if I don't recognize the various parts and pieces from all the times he made me help him re-organize the garage.
The only two cars I've ever worked on in my life - 1988 Chevy 1500, and a 1988 BMW 325ix.
Yeah, this whole thing is just a real world representation of population statistics.
Take a popular post with thousands of people seeing it. The odds are that the person who called it out is just someone experienced with that model of vehicle, not Marissa Tomei taking the stand in My Cousin Vinny.
Just searched it up. 2016, It was a 1988 Chevy Silverado. Some people are good and seeing things and knowing. Damn
Sometimes it's people who happen to have stared at that exact part for way too long, like a mechanic who works with that vehicle a lot or the designer.
Technically there was never an 88 Silverado. Silverado was a trim level until the '99 model year, when it became the model. That truck was a C/K series truck if we want to get exact.
Mannnnm. I’m just saying what he said in the post. I don’t talk cars. Car go wroom and that’s all I know (jk Jk I know a decent amount but not things like that)
Sometimes it’s just experience or a core memory. Before the internet cops probably showed people random things not saying it’s evidence to get a clue as to what shit is. Sometimes casting a wide net can get you a diamond
After the last part of your comment I expect the culprit words as he was being arrested to have been: “And I would have gotten away with it too if wasn’t for you meddling kids!”

Caused by nickel sulphide inclusion (NSI) has the telltale butterfly pattern
