Nature — Butterfly Alphabet — by Guest Mom Burgin Streetman
Though this is probably old news by now, a few years back August was gifted a Butterfly Alphabet poster by his aunt, and I still adore it. Kjell Sandved was working for the Smithsonian when he realized you could find all the letters of the alphabet hidden in the wings of the world’s butterflies. Each picture lets you experience a sort of intimacy with the winged creatures that only lepidopterists enjoy. (Look it up.) You can even get your child’s name spelled out in butterfly letters. How cool is that?

I remember this alphabet, I've seen it printed somewhere (but can't remember the name of the mag)! It's magical... I tried to find it to show my daughter... Thank you very much for sharing!
That is really cool! I may have to get my kids' names done! It's really amazing what we can find in nature if we only look.
This is actually way cool and I hadn't heard of it yet, i love it
