Flashing fireflies were permitted to breathe osmium tetroxide vapor, after which the lanterns were removed and the sites of absorption of the osmium into the tissues were detected in two ways: (1) by sonication to remove soft tissues, that is, those

Inspired by thermal expansion and refractive index changes in the nanostructures of iridescent Morpho butterfly scales, scientists demonstrate upconverted mid-wave infrared detection with a temperature sensitivity of 18–62 mK and a heat-sink-free r

Tropical Morpho butterflies are famous for their brilliant iridescent colours, which arise from ordered arrays of scales on their wings. Here we show that the iridescent scales of the Morpho sulkowskyi butterfly give a different optical response to d

Lucidota atra, a diurnal firefly, shares possession of defensive steroids (lucibufagins or LBGs) with nocturnal fireflies of the genus Photinus. Photinus are protected against predators by their LBGs, but not against fireflies of the genus Photuris,

SYNOPSIS. The mysterious process by which fireflies can control their flashing has inspired over a century of careful observation but has remained elusive. Many studies have implicated oxygen as the controlling element in the photochemical reaction,

Spectral tuning is a diverse topic, both with regard to mechanism and with regard to biological significance. We have touched upon a related topic already when dealing with quantum dots in Chap. 5. In organisms, spectral tuning can be achieved both b

Structural colors occur in various kinds of animals, and even in plants, but are particularly prominent in insects and birds. They are formed by the interaction of light with materials with very specific (and usually complex) micro, nanoscale archite

For almost a century, the iridescence of tropical Morpho butterfly scales has been known to originate from 3D vertical ridge structures of stacked periodic layers of cuticle separated by air gaps. Here we describe a biological pattern of surface func

All butterfly and moth scales and bristles are made of non-living insect cuticle. Each is the product of a single epithelial cell, and all share the same basic architecture. However, some are highly specialized, and their cuticle is further elaborate
