Beautiful Butterflies with Funny Names

This book explores humor associated with funny names of some beautiful butterflies to create laughter and happy feeling for children. It explores humor to make the reader interested in butterflies and by extension nature as a whole. Some of these names are associated with titles such as emperor, monarch, food such as lime, situations such as flame or with occupations such as shoemaker, etc. One expects that night time or bed time reading becomes more memorable for children; something to think about as they doze off to sleep.

One hopes that this will create some awareness of how animals and particularly butterflies are named by those who discovered them or those who made them popular. Obviously these butterflies have assigned scientific names which I have not included in this book.
