Best Answer

The first butterfly ever scientifically described is Papilio machaon, The Swallowtail. It is also sometimes called "Old World Swallowtail" to distinguish it from the many hundreds of other swallowtail species described since then. The type specimen of it still exists. Regardless of any taxonomic changes that ever take place, that one original P. machaon specimen will ALWAYS be considered a butterfly.

Opinions from Contributors:They were called butorflēoge, buttorflēoge, or buterflēoge in Old English, which evolved to buterflie, butturflye, or boterflye in Middle English, and finally butterfly in modern English. In German, there is a similar association with dairy products throughout the history of the word's evolution.The term 'Butterfly' is derived from the yellow brimstone butterfly of Europe, which was first seen in the 'butter' season (early spring).The original name of the butterfly was 'flutterby'.
