butterfly parts

There was a collection of mounted butterflies in a case at the Butterfly Pavilion, to include a Blue Morpho and the edges of a swallow tail. Because there are spaces between the specimens there are spaces in the cross shape that do not have butterfly parts as well. Thought I'd try this as an experiment.

the eyes have it

Always liked the "fake" eyes on butterfly wings, it distracts the butterfly's prey and it makes for an interesting pattern in a mandala.
