The butterfly was named by Dr. Showme D. Cash a famous entomologist and dyslexic. Noticing a never before seen insect flying in the air he remarked to his friend Runyon Hyde, "Look at that, ButterFly." He meant to say, "Look at that Flutter By."

We had a foreign exchange student my senior year in high school who was from South Africa. He told us we were saying it wrong here -- that the proper word was indeed 'flutterby.' It makes a lot more sense and my husband agreed. We have had a lot of gorgeous flutterbys in our garden this year.
