We find the natural world is a good source of design inspiration…like this Eighty-Eight Butterfly (Diaethria neglecta) from Brazil’s Pantanal with it’s a sensational design of lines and dots.
Take a nature walk at National Geographic’s slideshow of extraordinary butterflies or at Encyclopedia of Life’s butterfly collection.
