The verges around here haven't been cut for ages and are in full flower. However on a beautiful sunny day I recently made an eight mile journey along such roads (as a passenger and purposely looking) and didn't see one butterfly.
I remember when I was a child, after a drive in the countryside my father would have to to clean the windscreen because of all the suicidal bees and bugs. Perhaps that's the problem - too many cars on the road wiping out the insects.
