Wavelength-selective and anisotropic light-diffusing scale on the wing of the Morpho butterfly.

We have found that cover scales on the wing of the butterfly Morpho didius possess specially designed microscopic structures for wavelength-selective reflection and contribute considerably to the brilliant blue colour of the wing. In addition, the cover scale functions as an anisotropic optical diff...
