The feathers of butterfly are constituted by thin layers of protein-chitin, and they are covered by thousands microscopic squamas that give characteristic colours. The Chitin is organic substance that her attributes resemble little with the keratin, that exists, in the hair and nails. - Τα φτερά της πεταλούδας αποτελούνται από λεπτές στρώσεις της πρωτεΐνης-χιτίνης, και καλύπτονται από χιλιάδες μικροσκοπικά λέπια που δίνουν τα χαρακτηριστικά χρώματα.Η χιτίνη είναι οργανική ουσία που οι ιδιότητές της μοιάζουν λίγο με της κερατίνης, που υπάρχει, στα μαλλιά και νύχια.

She is so graceful and I am amazed how she is sits there looking so proud of her coat of colors as she should be!
I just loved the patterns on the wings of the butterfly.
It's a great capture.
Lovely photo - I have seen the wing scales under a microscope.
Do you have bee orchids? (Flowers that mimic bees - we have them here).
The butterfly and flower are both beautiful. Love the bright colors. You take very nice pictures.
Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. -happy sigh-
