Talk:Nymphalis antiopa

message: Which name suits better for the article, Camberwell Beauty or Mourning Cloak? I'd say Mourning Cloak, because it is more universal. The butterfly's name is literally 'mourning cloak' at least in German, Swedish and Finnish.  The speakers of those languages would recognize easier what the article is about, if its name were Mourning Cloak. Only the British English name refers to Camberwell. -Hapsiainen 21:12, Oct 8, 2004 (UTC)

message: I read this, "The resurrection of mourning cloaks in the spring had a strong meaning to many different groups."  I would like to know some examples for different groups that were with "strong meaning" of the morning cloaks.  Very interesting cliff hanger. 
Thanks for adding,"By the way, none of the oaks may be native to North America".  And...  "They may have been introduced by many many different groups of Europeans, the rarest from areas lost to mining".  It might be off topic, but it's great information for a studier like me.  Off to read more about oaks now.

thread_title:  Thanks and Would Like To Learn More 

message: I am a student at Washington University in St. Louis working primarily on behavior of mourning cloak butterflies, specifically trying to provide more information on its mating systems and territoriality.
I altered some of the page organization and referenced some of the prior material. In addition, I included behavior (including reproduction and development), as well as some more general information, distribution, and some experimentation.
Thank you.

message: The list of the butterfly's names in Germanic languages includes Finnish, which isn't a Germanic language. The butterfly's name in Finnish is a calque from the Germanic languages, but Finnish should regardless be mentioned separately (with the detail that the Finnish name is a calque of the Germanic names?). I'm not sure what the exact wording should be, though. VHGW (talk) 09:35, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
