US artist Kristina Dutton creates stunning animation from macroscopic images of butterfly and moth wings.

She draws viewers even further inside the world of the unseen, using light and electron microscopes to magnify images of the wings up to 50,000 times their original size.

Dutton and her collaborators help bring to life the hidden topography of these wings.
