The amazing world of wings

If you, like me, think that insects and bugs are fantastic, wait until you see these close-up photographs of butterfly and moth wings.

Taken by Linden Gledhill, the same photographer who brought us fabulous colours in paint splashes, these macro images show the scales and colours of these fabulous creatures. You can see the gallery on designboom.com and if any of you aspiring weavers out there fancy a go at some iridescence, have a look at this site or this one on plain weave.
