Photonic Crystal Structure of Butterfly Wing Scales Exhibiting Selective Wavelength Iridescence
Matějková-Plšková, J. ; Mika, Filip ; Jiwajinda, S. ; Dechkrong, P. ; Svidenská, S. ; Shiojiri, M.
Characteristic patterns and the vivid coloration of the wing scales of butterflies have lately attracted considerable attention as natural photonic crystals. The coloration of butterflies that exhibit human visible iridescence from violet to green has been elucidated. A Sasakia charonda (S. charonda) or ‘great purple emperor’ butterfly was sampled in a woodland in Japan, and an Euploea mulciber (E. mulciber) or 'striped blue crow’ butterfly was reared from an egg at the Environmental Entomology Research and Development Center, Kasetsart University.
