Benzene Ring

 

3 Little Moths on a Flower in Scotland

These are 3 little moths (Micropterix calthella) on a Buttercup. I studied a few years of Chemistry in my late teens and for some reason when I took this and looked at the moths, they reminded me of how I would draw a Benzene Ring. If you know about chemistry you'll know what I am talking about. Otherwise, enjoy these little fellows on the yellow flower!

  4. That’s such a lovely observation—nature echoing chemistry! Those tiny moths circling the Buttercup like a Benzene Ring is a beautiful blend of science and serendipity.

    1. Haha fair enough David. Must just be me. I remember drawing it like this. Some draw it with a circle in middle instead. I was taught with the 3 lines :-D

  11. They appear to be checking out the marking in the center of the buttercup.

  12. Cada una dispone de una posición en la flor y procuran no estorbarse.
    Feliz fin de semana.
