that's a very cute little idea! i mean, i've seen caves where ΑΑΑ are needed to fill such a basket, but these ΑΑΑ coming from ΗΗΗ is new to me. and the idea has potential to become very challenging if all ΑΑΑ are needed to fill the basket :d

The concept is not new (see 22 3F "another refill!" and 3F.2 "Make it a smoothie!"), but this is one of these puzzles where the bin is open and you're pushing a light from right to left, as opposed to a standard from left to right.  
  
As for filling gaps, you'd need to be very careful about how you designate them. I find using exactly enough butterflies to make the requisite \s to be too problematic and uncontrollable to be doable.

however, if you make a upper measure so you can pre-fill the bowl and then drop them in using layers of slime, it *shouldn't* be as unfair!
