The colour and intricate detail of a moth's wing, like the one shown here from the painted lichen moth (Hypoprepia fucosa), is rarely appreciated. Although there are many more species of moths than butterflies, their nocturnal habit tends to keep them from view. Print-maker Joseph Scheer became interested in moths when he began using a high-resolution scanner to capture directly images of insects. The prints allow a view of the anatomical detail, previously only available through a stereomicroscope, across an entire specimen. Now Scheer has become something of an amateur lepidopterist, studying the diversity of the local moth populations as he collects more specimens for his prints, a selection of which can be seen in Night Visions: The Secret Designs of Moths (Prestel, £29.95).
