Is it really more aesthetically pleasing, or just more familiar?
- megamindbrian 9y agoMore pleasing because the underside of the wings aren't as colorful.
- detaro 9y agoYou don't necessarily see the underside of the wings in a natural pose.
- jfk13 9y agoAh yes - the undersides of butterfly wings are just SO dull, aren't they? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c8/Hauhechel-Bläuling%2C_Polyommatus_icarus_Paarung_1.JPG/1920px-Hauhechel-Bläuling%2C_Polyommatus_icarus_Paarung_1.JPG https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c8/Ha...
