Map (butterfly)

From Wikipedia, free encyclopedia:
The Map (Araschnia levana) is a butterfly of the Nymphalidae family. It is common throughout the lowlands of central and eastern Europe, and is expanding its range in western Europe.
The Map is unusual in that its two annual broods look very different. The summer brood are black with white markings, looking like a miniature version of the White Admiral and lacking most of the orange of the pictured spring brood.
The eggs are laid in long strings, one on top of the other, on the underside of stinging nettles, the larval foodplant. It is thought that these strings of eggs mimic the flowers of the nettles, thereby evading predators. The larvae feed gregariously and hibernate as pupae.

Although the first major gold rush in Australia occurred in early 1851, there were a number of minor gold discoveries "Down Under" that took place in the years leading up to Edward Hargraves' discovery of major gold placers in New South Wales in late 1850. For better or worse, these early discoveries were either deemed too distant, too hard to work, too small (not commercially viable), or the knowledge of their existence was deliberately withheld from the public and the authorities for any number of reasons
I produced 2 mind maps to give me creative direction.
I started with human emotions and stereotypes, however I found it too direct, but rather enjoyed the idea of finding human links in a chosen Animal. In this case, I chose the Dumbo Octopus, this drove me to do relevant research on their behaviours which further extended my knowledge on this species but also creatively influenced my designs.
