Fossilized Biophotonic Nanostructures Reveal the Original Colors of 47-Million-Year-Old Moths

Structural colors are generated by scattering of light by variations in tissue nanostructure. They are widespread among animals and have been studied most extensively in butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera), which exhibit the widest diversity of photonic nanostructures, resultant colors, and visual e...
