These Macro Photos Reveal the Hidden Geometry of Butterflies and Moths

Lithuanian photographer Eugenijus Kavaliauskas captures butterflies and moths at such extreme magnification that their wings begin to look almost unreal.

Patterns become landscapes. Tiny scales resemble fur, feathers, or woven fabric. Against black backgrounds, each insect feels less like a specimen and more like a piece of abstract design.

The series, Lepidoptera, highlights the incredible detail normally invisible to the naked eye, revealing just how strange and beautiful these creatures really are.
