Interesting facts

  • The sparkliest colours on Earth come from Beetles. This is because they have up to 16 different layers of hardened skin with varying air spaces between them that change & intensify the colour as they bend & reflect light. Artists try to capture the intensity of Nature by placing tiny flakes in their paint.
