Butterflies are one of the most mesmerizing species in the world. I can't stop watching them flutter. While physicists are trying to uncover how subtle differences in the crystals of butterfly wings create stunningly varied patterns of color, we designers can count on these for color inspirations! I feel sad when I hear about butterfly populations declining. Let's hope these thrive for generations to come. I've also written on brilliant colors toucans and colors in fall season- all in appreciation of the spectacular colors of "Mother Nature".
