Have you ever seen what the butterfly wings look like?
There is no doubt that butterflies are among the most colorful and beautiful insects in nature.

According to Kate Sierzputowski of Colossal, to capture photos like the one you just saw above, where you can identify each structure and eyelash that makes up butterfly wings, Chris uses a microscope lens that can magnify images 10 times connected to a 200mm lens.
