Hi there! A while back I asked about the naming of hummingbirds and your reply was informative. I just want to say thank you again, and now, after your most recent posts, I’ve added Firetip to my ever-growing list of favorite names. I’m hoping there’s more beautifully named bugs out there!

There are a lot butterflies with cool names...
