  • im goin london zoo today school trip

  • @xXMayfuyuXx I have been told that it is called the postman because it flies the same route for food everyday in nature

  • It's not a cocoon, it's a chrysalid. Moths emerge from cocoons. It's okay, a lot of people get them mixed up ;)

  • It first, I would mistake it for a Zebra Butterfly; the pupae look very similar. I then recognize it as the postman when i see the oval-like shape of the wings, and the large red stripes.

  • How lovely..May I ask why it is called a "Postman butterfly"?

  • Beautiful. I saw them in London Zoo.

  • Wow, that's a very beautiful butterfly. I love watching them emerging from their cocoon :)
