Exotic Butterflies and Moths Made out of Flower Arrangements

Using seasonal leaves, blooms, and petals, Montreal-based fashion designer and creative Raku Inoue created some brilliantly colored moths and butterflies in his continuing “Natura Insects” series. Following the art of Ikebana – the Japanese art of floral arrangement, Inoue is taught to respect the nature he works with and only use what is most abundant, rather than focusing on what might look most attractive. Hence, all his working material is gathered from ground after a rain and big wind instead of being picked from trees or stem.

You can see more arrangements from his continuing series on Instagram.
