Butterfly Alphabet

In one Asian museum of Natural History, I saw this type of poster on the wall of the entomology lab. I really liked it and later found it on the Internet. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find out more than one butterfly, and I'm really not such a strong expert in the field of lepidopterology. Maybe someone will be interested to identify the species/genera of butterflies used to create this masterpiece. It would just be interesting to know, although I understand that the task is not easy - a sort of lepidopteran rebus-crossword puzzle.

A short article in the English-language Wikipedia about how and by whom this poster was created:

it would be more interesting to make the same one for the Cyrillic alphabet-maybe someone will do it

You're right. I also thought about it, in my opinion it would be just great to see the Cyrillic alphabet. By the way, this is a completely good commercial idea, and at the same time it would be something to push entomologists at Moscow fairs. And if no kidding, then this work is quite time-consuming and painstaking. Please note that this Norwegian artist-naturalist has different letters of the Latin alphabet in different resolutions, which means that he was also looking for suitable options under a stereoscopic microscope.

In short, anyone who has a large collection of the world's lepidopteran fauna can try it in principle.
