Inspired by nature. Butterfly series: Argynnis paphia (Silver-washed fritillary)

I always enjoy a visit to the Butterfly House at Melbourne Zoo in Victoria, Australia. The butterflies are so active it's hard to get a shot, but this Orange Lacewing rested just long enough!

The Distinguished Colomychus talis is a moth found in the southeastern United States and Mexico. I drew this winged gentleman because I loved his color scheme, and he’s got a great name.

Butterfly Pattern made from Butterflies by Adolphe Millot

Cecropia moth

The beginning of spring made me think of butterflies, so I illustrated them in pen-and-ink and coloured pencils. These drawings were made in two separated layers and mixed digitally.

We call it a wanderer, in America it's called a Monarch. Whatever it's called, it's gorgeous. A combination of hand painted and photographs(by me) make up this collage of butterflies.

The design contains the word "lepidoptera" repeated in yellow, orange and red, in vintage font. It's the perfect birthday gift idea for entomolgy students who love retro effect, beautiful insect or cute bug. It's a bit 80's style too. For people who study entomology, or biology or zoology. For insect lovers and bug fans. For those who grow moths, butterflies, or live Caterpillars in their home. For introvert people who love the Lifecycle of a Butterfly and prefer to study lepidoptera.

One of the most beautiful moth species in the world--the Luna moth! Did you know these moths don't have a mouth? They pretty much breed and live only a week.

The beginning of spring made me think of butterflies, so I illustrated them in pen-and-ink and coloured pencils. These drawings were made in two separated layers and mixed digitally.

Butterfly and Bee lovers will love this funny design with a lepidoptera and a hymenoptera. This makes a perfect gift for the entomologist and bug lover on your gift list. Makes a great gift for science teachers.

Trivia: Despite their apparent laziness, chestnut tigers (Parantica sita) can fly at great altitudes and can travel huge distances. How can such a small animal travel so far? By drifting along on seasonal winds.

An illustration of butterflies

an iconic butterfly, known for being their long lifespans and being state butterfly of Florida.

Known for their epic migrations, monarchs are one of the most charismatic insects. Their larvae can eat only milkweed, which makes both the caterpillar and adult butterfly toxic to predators. Monarchs are threatened by a shortage of milkweed along their migration routes and by development and changing agricultural practices in their summer breeding grounds and overwintering sites.
