Re: "It's a shame there are so few butterfly names..." (ETA)

Cool! Thanks, those are really interesting associations to have with some familiar names. A lot of butterflies have pretty species names, I like Indra, Eurydice and Olympia. Wonder how people choose these names.
You inspired me to see if we have any nice butterfly names here. :) Some genus names:
Hesperia, Thecla, Vanessa, Aglais, Hipparchia, Maniola, Lysandra, Aricia, Issoria
and species names: Lucina, Selene, Euphrosyne, Camilla, Iris, Atalanta, Io, Athalia, Aegeria, Semele, Tullia, Galathea, Aglaia
