Based on your description of the Disturbed Tigerwing he seems most likely to be the serial killer of the butterfly world.

Great shots, love the Clearwing. I think the Postman is called that because they read my bad handwriting with their antennae to decipher foreign addresses. Actually their full name is "Postman's Vitally Important Assistant Moth" but that's quite long and they're quite small. Either that or the letterbox shaped mark on its wing.

lol.. thanks you all. Yes, Q (she said, nodding supportively). In what way is that shaped like a letterbox? Or do you mean the yellow thingie is like a slot? But then wouldn't you call it a postbox? I mean, you don't feed mail to the postman through a slot.

They're all rather gorgeous, aren't they?

Maybe that butterfly always rings twice. I'm learning to appreciate butterflies. I saw some very cool butterlies in both Costa Rica and the Amazon.

In Europe, Lisa, we have letterboxes in our doors; ie, a slot, covered with a flap, through which the postman posts the letters. So, actually, the postman feeds post to homeowners through a slot just like that. And, er, maybe, just maybe, that butterfly was named by a European?

Maybe you've got it the wrong way round. Maybe they named postmen after the butterfly because they have red and black uniforms.

I can deal with the slot idea - we have slots in some of our doors here, too. But THERE IS NO SLOT IN A POSTMAN. But anyway, thanks!

Oh wow- didn't realize you went to Brookside! My friend works there and lives on the property. I can always get free tickets.... next time I guess. Nice bug shots, hon.

I love butterflies, I HATE moths (we have so many in the new place!)

I sure hope you don't have moths that size in your place, Tulpje! It was the size of a Yorkshire Terrier. Thanks you guyz..
