We are getting a new science building and one of the features will be beautiful floor to 3-story ceiling glass panels depicting various (somewhat abstract) images from science. I am looking for high resolution pictures of butterfly wing spots, close-ups of animal eyes, close-ups of feathers, or close-ups of color patterns on your favorite creature (we have plenty of plant images). If you can send me an image or a website address and PERMISSION to use these photos, I would be grateful!
