The original name for a butterfly... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.188.247.5 (talk) 18:49, August 30, 2007 (UTC)

I also think that some band isn't exactly the most important entry this could have.. I'd expect more something along "spoonerism" or "false entymology". OED: f. BUTTER + FLY; with Old English buttorfléoge cf. Dutch botervlieg, earlier botervlieghe, modern German butterfliege. The reason of the name is unknown: Wedgwood points out a Dutch synonym boterschijte in Kilian, which suggests that the insect was so called from the appearance of its excrement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.143.52.147 (talk) 20:23, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
