Race?
Car Race?
Rat Race?
Human Race?
We call butterflies not by their species name, but by a general butterfly. What makes humans any different?

Hebrews seem to have changed in appearance. Seems to me back in the prime of the Industrial Revolution they had red hair and during WWII they had blond hair.

Since there's no appreciable genetic variation between the Israeli people and those of the surrounding nations, 'race' is probably highly innacurate. It's a religious difference only. You put a native Israeli, Lebanese, and Jordanian in a lineup and I'll bet it'd be hard to tell them apart. the interbreeding, whether its admitted to or not, is millennia old, and still continues. So there.

And as for butterflies... some of us CAN tell a Papilo glaucus (Tiger Swallowtail) from a Danaus plexippus (Monarch).

Gee Fabrux, I didn't know you were around back during the Industrial Revolution... Wow, you must be old! ;-)

Fabrux -- honestly now, do you wear a long coat to conceal a sword?

Since I was a young boy, I played the silver ball. From Soho down to Dryton, I must have played them all.

My color vision causes me a few problems with some kinds of identifications, and I figured butterflies are a creature with good color variation.

Got one of them types of colorblindness?
Me too.

Apparently, mine is a difficulty in distinguishing between certain similar wavelengths of light... sometimes. My Opthamologist was puzzled by it. I can tell MOST colors, but some blues look green, some greens look grey, etc.

Me conceal a sword? No...

Oh, and I'm colourblind, too. With dark colours. Or so the doc says. *shrug*

They, researchers, say that 88% of men and 12% of women are colorblind to varying degrees. Should've seen me dress myself as a kid..... it was awful, or so I'm told..... I didn't see anything wrong....
