Fw: Re: common names

Lepers -

A little reasonableness here.  Use of standardized common names is being
promoted in order to draw more folks into the study and appreciation of
butterflies, thus hopefully leading to support of their conservation. 
It worked for birds.
Some day most of the "great unwashed" will also see the benefit of
learning the scientific names.  In the meantime, chill!

Cheers!
