Naturally occuring alphabet on the wings of butterflies


Armand sez, "Smithsonian naturalist and photographer Kjell Sandved one day found a butterfly with a silvery, gleaming letter 'F' woven into the tapestry of its wings. Having found one letter of the alphabet, he wondered whether there might be others butterflies flying around with letters on their wings. Could he find them all? He took the challenge but little did he know that it would take him 24 years."
