Shot at two cutting-edge research labs specializing in butterfly and moth evolution, Biopixels explores evolutionary biology on the microscopic scale. Using the latest light microscope technology, it renders microscopic mosaics from collections of over 50,000 specimens. Butterflies and moths comprise 12% of all known species (180,000 species!). Biopixels meditates on their seemingly endless biodiversity, translated on their wings through color and pattern variation.
