_NABOKOV'S BLUES: THE SCIENTIFIC ODYSSEY OF A LITERARY GENIUS_
Cambridge MA: Zoland Books, 1999.

Vladimir Nabokov's original screenplay diverged greatly from the novel, but only a portion of it was used by Kubrick, even though Nabokov gets screen credit. Nabokov later published it as "Lolita: A Screenplay." The unused screenplay featured a Hitchcock-like cameo for Nabokov, who is referred to as "that nut with a butterfly net."
(Nabokov was well known as an amateur lepidopterist)

道に迷ったHHがVNに道を尋ねる場面。
HH and Lolita are lost on a dirt road.
(Their car's radiator grill is plastered with dead butterflies.)
Lolita spots VN, who has just caught a butterfly.
Lolita: Ask that nut with a net over there.
Humbert: Is that a rare specimen?
Nabokov: A specimen cannot be common or rare, it can only be poor or perfect.
Humbert: Could you direct me ---
Nabokov: You meant "rare species." This is a good specimen of a rather scarce subspecies.
Humbert: I see. Could you please tell me if this road leads to Dympleton?
Nabokov: I haven't the vaguest idea. I saw some loggers (pointing) up there. They might know.
