Default Butterfly Wings Alphabet
How cool is this?

Photographer Kjell Sandved traveled to 30 different countries taking pictures of live butterflies and moths to capture these images. He was able to find the English alphabet as well as numbers 0-9 in the patterns on their wings.

Rubbish, I don't believe he did that for a second. He ripped them off and sprayed them, they don't look anything like real

..that's so incredibly cool and beautiful Josy.....here are a few more of his works...his particular fascination seems to be with butterflies, which I agree are quite exquisite creatures...almost ethereal....

His stuff is amazing

This is a quote from him that basically describes his work perfectly imo

“To find beauty in the world, you have to look closely.”

Bloke must have a lot of time on his hands, but fair play. They're lovely - the 'J' one however, I'm worried.. It looks like half a wing or something.
