What is an example of an Involutory matrix which is not Normal?

$\begingroup$

In another question, a user kindly explained that not all Involutory matrices are Normal. I thought they were 'very Normal': both Unitary and Hermitian, but clearly they are neither always Unitary nor Hermitian.

Could you please give an example of an Involutory matrix which is not Normal?

I just worked it out. Hope it helps somebody!

\begin{pmatrix} 0 & 2 \\ 0.5 & 0 \end{pmatrix}
