Moth wing scales. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of scales from the wing of a Madagascan sunset moth (Chrysiridia rhipheus), showing their photonic crystal structure. The colour of a moth or butterfly's wing can arise either from a pigment contained in the scales or from the actual structure of the scales themselves, as here. Photonic crystals are nanostructures that affect the motion of photons in light, producing a specific colouration.
