In this image, the eye of a butterfly is seen. At this scale, the eye and structures surrounding it appear strikingly different than expected. Individual scales of the insect make it look almost furry. At the center, the composite eye features thousands of small eye pieces packed in a honeycomb pattern.

This is amazing. I always enjoy insect close ups.
I believe they are so surprising just because we can not see their details with our eyes. 🙂 However, I should say that sometimes it’s hard to look at them that closely.
