Butterfly & Swot
Butterfly
Hey, have you ever wondered how those shimmering wing patterns are actually a living example of fractals, or how the tiny veins on a butterfly’s wing could teach us something about efficient load distribution? I’d love to hear your take!

Interesting observation, but fractal‑like patterns in wings are more about self‑similarity than strict mathematical fractals; the vein network is a quasi‑hierarchical branching system that efficiently distributes stress and minimizes material use, a useful model for lightweight structural design.
