Welcome to the butterfly wing pattern module of Class Insecta. Most butterfly and moth wings are covered with a dense mosaic of tiny individually colored scales forming a myriad of striking color patterns and designs. This beauty has elevated human perception of butterflies to a level of heightened appreciation. As you browse the six posters, you'll learn about wing structure, design analysis, pattern formation and adaptational benefits.
