- Butterflies/Moths by Colour

33 2 4
                                    

Here's a chapter for DireWerewolfGirl
Thanks for requesting and I hope you find this useful! ^^

In this part, I'll be giving you viewers ~10 names of butterflies and moths, for every general colour category I can think of. This kind if categorisation might help with finding names for your SilkWing characters with pre-determined appearances!

(Oh yeah, I didn't mention, but most of these will be binomial names, because I've already included most normal butterfly names in the first two SilkWing chapters, and I'm trying to not repeat myself too much.)

Anyway, I hope this helps all you lovely viewers.
Thanks and enjoy!
