Nothing in nature surprises me anymore.
Here's a ponderable:
Do we see the "Letters" in the wing markings because our brains are trained to see them OR did our forms for the letters we use come from images like these that we saw in nature?

Hey GB! I think nature totally influenced our alphabet. In fact, your insightful remark has given me fuel for a new entry on my blog. Thank you!

My brain is always crankin' out one crackpot idea or another...
