Scales of a butterfly wing...

Thanks Shirley.

You would never guess what they are, excellent picture, Thanks Rob.

Thanks Meadowhawk - macro shots are fantastic :)))
HA!! Sure can pg!!! Thanks.

Can we weigh in on this picture Rob? It is a great shot.

Wow - what stunning photography!

Thanks Jacques!

love the blue in the pic rob!

You'd need teeny, tiny scissors for that job chickie :)) Thanks!

Now that is interesting. Looks like someone cut little pieces of paper and glued them on. Thanks robryan.

It's truly amazing isn't it!! Who ever knew that the scales were different shapes & there were so many of them!! And that they were sooo tiny!! Thanks loveydear:))

I'm glad someone developed the ability to photograph this level of close shot to show what my naked eyes can't see. I have often grabbed my magnifying glass to get a closer look at the markings on a moth or butterfly's wings and/or body but I've still never seen detail like this!!!

Thanks chookie - I'm always amazed when I see these Macro shots.

Wow - just beautiful!!
