Images of butterfly wings at the microscopic scale are stunning, and at the nanoscopic scale they become otherworldly. Shot at two cutting-edge research labs, the pictures of&nbsp;Nanoscapes&nbsp;were taken with light and electron microscopes at magnifications up to 50,000x. The elaborate nanoscopic topography of butterfly wings has produced a wealth of data on structural coloration. The film is an artistic rendering of exciting new research on how butterflies build these remarkable, infinitesimal landscapes.

They need to be studied and treated as endangered in some cases, according to researchers who are on a quest to save parasites.
