What does APOLLO mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A large, showy mountain butterfly with rounded, pale wings marked by red or black eyespots.
The apollo lives on high mountain meadows across Europe and Asia and is prized by collectors for its size and the bold spots on its wings. Its numbers have fallen in many regions as mountain grassland has shrunk, and several countries now protect the species by law. Butterfly guides use the plain word apollo for this insect the same way they use plain names for other winged species. Watching for an apollo often means climbing well above the valley floor, since the butterfly rarely strays from open, sunny slopes.
