How Caterpillars Are Made - a photo on Flickriver

            Two Imperial Jezebel butterflies caught 'in flagrante delicto'. Seen on a walk in the hills behind Wye River on The Great Ocean Road, Victoria, Australia.

A still frame from a movie clip taken with an iPhone 5S, intruding on their privacy while the butterflies were themselves walking out together...

I am amazed at how much detail the early model iPhone managed to resolve within a single movie frame — eyes, legs, antennae, fine hairs fringing the wings of vivid featherlike colour, stippling, and texture.  

Some butterflies look as though their colour and markings have been rendered in a precision process.  In this case they seem to me as though they have been made by an artist who uses quick, free-flowing brush strokes.  The colours and shapes make me think of American Indian headdress…
