If f is a continuous selection for the Vietoris hyperspace ℱ(X) of the nonempty closed subsets of a space X, then the point f(X)∊ X is not as arbitrary as it might seem at first glance. In this paper, we will characterise these points by local properties at them. Briefly, we will show that p=f(X) is a strong butterfly point precisely when it has a countable clopen base in cl(U) for some open set U⊂ X\{p} with cl(U)=U ∪ {p}. Moreover, the same is valid when X is totally disconnected at p=f(X) and p is only assumed to be a butterfly point. This gives the complete affirmative solution to a question raised previously by the author. Finally, when p=f(X) lacks the above local base-like property, we will show that ℱ(X) has a continuous selection h with the stronger property that h(S)=p for every closed S⊂X with p∈S.
