Mosquitos And blue butterflys

[Duckplague]

My friend and I tried to build a base in a location that we didn't realise was close to mosquitos(not a big deal because they're pretty easy to deal with if theres only one or two) but any time a mosquito would fly over our base and aggro it would cause every butterfly near by (around 2-4) to aggro on us to completely totalling our base and trapping us is a death loop unless we respawn at an outpost. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and is it intended for butterflys to aggro with mosquitos. I'm pretty sure they're a passive mob

Butterflies are Neutral, so will attack if provoked.

Does a mosquito attacking me count as provoking the butterfly then?
