papersky kindly sent me a link to a
gallery of butterfly photos from the Jardin Botanique "Butterflies are Free/Papillons en Liberté" exhibit. There are some really good images of morphos
showing their wing spots against the roof, and
emerging from their cocoons. A
flowering cactus from above is beautiful, and would make a fine textbook illustration of the Fibonacci sequence. Here's a
morpho from above, iridescent blue.
