I used to photograph the Red Admiral butterfly, and I found that the wings have these tiny shield shaped scales, but the most fascinating part is that underneath the thousands of scales was this very thin silver foil like skin, which also had very small perforations that looked like tiny little holes in which the scales were attached and that on both sides of the wings. I was completely blown away. As kids we would pick up these butterflies and when we let them fly off, our tiny fingers would be covered in what we called Pixie dust which was in fact the thousands of tiny scales that were stuck to our skin. I thought that the silver membrane was in fact a way of a solar panel that would in fact warm up the butterfly and give it the ability to fly. I will try to find some of my images. What wonders God has created if we are only willing to look just a little closer 😊🙏

This was one of the most fascinating episodes you're ever done. Loved it.

I think... a LOT. Doing... not so much. Your videos are inspiring me to change that. Thank you!
