Postman Butterfly - Mexico & Sth America.

Fascinating info Robbie!!! Thank you - it sounds very plausible, & even if it's not true - it's a great story :)))

What a beauty Rob, thanks. I found a bit of info, not sure if it is right. At night they roost in groups under large leaves and branches so they don't get battered by rain drops. In the morning the first one awake flies around waking the others up almost like a postman delivering letters. Sounds reasonable, not sure how far back postmen go!

Thanks chickie.

Very pretty.

Thanks Deborah - there was no explanation as to how it got its' name though!! Very frustrating!!

Very pretty Rob!
