Around Labor Day every year in Wilmington, NC thousands of little yellow butterflies show up.  In the back yard one day, as several were fluttering about, I got to thinking about the name butterfly and I wondered if they weren’t originally called flutterbies and one day someone mixed it up and said butterfly.  I suppose butterfly came from these creatures being the color of butter and they fly.  But for me, I now call them flutterbies, because that’s what they do, they flutter by.
