Unique wing scale photonics of male Rajah Brooke’s birdwing butterflies
BACKGROUND: Ultrastructures in butterfly wing scales can take many shapes, resulting in the often striking coloration of many butterflies due to interference of light. The plethora of coloration mechanisms is dazzling, but often only single mechanisms are described for specific animals. RESULTS: We...
