RE: Gonepteryx Cleopatra 🦋 - The Origin Of the "Butterfly" Word

What a cute little leaf with antennas. 😋

I like how the name butterfly sounds beautiful in most languages, but in German it's called "Schmetterling". "schmettern" means to dash something, so a Schmetterling should be someone how dashes something. (I think, however, the resemblance of the two words is purely historic.)
