These microscopic photos of butterfly eggs by National Geographic, Prüftechnik Uri, and the University Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland are truly fascinating. I find them even more beautiful than the adult insects. Same goes for their incredible caterpillars.

This is an Adonis blue butterfly egg, with its caterpillar and fully grown adult specimen under it.

A Blue morpho butterfly egg, caterpillar and adult specimen. With a wingspan of 8-inches, it’s one of the largest in the world.

Magic.
