Abstract
- The article focuses on the Golden Ratio which is a number often encountered when taking the ratios of distances in simple geometric figures such as the pentagon, pentagram, decagon and dodecahedron. It mentions the geometric differences in proboscis which is an elongated appendage from the head of an animal. It notes the relationship of the Golden Ratio to butterfly feeding habits.
