Stop, oh yeah, wait a minute Mr. Postman!

Haha, I always wonder why are they named like that.

KeldBach In reply to thehurricanes [2010-06-30 20:23:44 +0000 UTC]

I guess the colour red is universally associated with the postal service

Interesting. Postmen in Taiwan wear green uniform and drive green cars.

Taiwan must be an exception to the rule then

I don't know. I think every country has their own selection of colors.

KeldBach In reply to thehurricanes [2010-07-01 19:54:49 +0000 UTC]

Perhaps, but I still think red is the most common. And that's probably also why this butterfly is called the Red Postman
