Entire Alphabet Found on the Wing Patterns of Butterflies.

[Cattledog]

Norwegian nature photographer Kjell Bloch Sandved has devoted his photographic career to capturing the beauty of the world we live in and along the way, amassed a collection of butterfly and moth images with interesting patterns on their wings. Sanved’s keen eye took notice of the spectacular shapes the natural designs came in, recognizing their resemblance to letters of the alphabet. As a result, he formed the Butterfly Alphabet.

Featuring all twenty-six letters in the English alphabet, as well as the ten single-digit numbers (0 through 9), Sandved assembled a wonderfully colorful collection of readable butterfly and moth wings. Since compiling his discovery into an alphabet, Sandved has been offering customers the chance to not only purchase a poster of the full alphabet but to even request custom prints of words spelled out in the butterfly letters.

6. It's the Latin Alphabet pictured

which would include all the symbols in the Norwegian alphabet, except for Æ, Ø, and Å.
The Latin alphabet is the mostly widely used orthographic system in the world, expressing written forms of hundreds of languages.
I wouldn't be surprised if Sandved manages to capture those letters too, somewhere in his butterfly patterns.

9. Wish I could remember where I got it...

Had to be an early educational supply site. Somebody had made this into a poster years ago that I sent to my niece when she was about 4. From what my sister tells me, it's now up in her son's bedroom! I love the idea of words in the letters...I've got great nieces and nephews now!

10. Someone needs to look for other alphabets

How trippy if, say, Greek symbols, Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese, etc are found?
