2014;217:2171–80. The upperside of the wings of the male Rajah Brooke’s birdwing, T. brookiana, is marked by mainly jet-black margins, which on the dorsal forewings surround a row of seven tooth-shaped green areas and on the hindwings border a large green patch.A bright red collar exists in the border area between head and thorax (Fig. 1b); scale bar 100 μm. White and black scales.

The lamellae fully fill the space in between neighboring ridges and even touch each other, so creating an almost continuous multilayer.

The angle-dependent scattering calculated for this optical structure (Fig. Although improperly described at some points, the latter authors show that replication of the black scales results in black optical structures with similar morphology. The prominent tooth-shaped green markings that are contrasted by the jet-black wing borders will likely serve as a potential aposematic signal to predators, similar to other strongly colored markings of related papilionids [2, 7, 42–44].

Saranathan V, Osuji CO, Mochrie SG, Noh H, Narayanan S, Sandy A, Dufresne ER, Prum RO. However, a high concentration of melanin severely reduces the reflectance, thus causing the scales’ blackness.

The pigments encountered in butterflies are rather family specific.

Interestingly, the ridge centers of the green scales contain a highly electron-dense material (Fig. You could see them nectaring on the Lantana as you drove along the winding road. What is Rajah Brooke's Birdwing value at Animal Crossing New Horizons? c-f Reflectance spectra; the number of the spectra corresponds to the wing and body location indicated in (a, b). Reflectance spectra measured with a microspectrophotometer revealed the pigmentary and/or structural origin of the different colors.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. [1], with colorful scales consisting of a large membrane stack that acts as a chirped multilayer [7], where the reflected light is filtered by papiliochrome pigments. The optics of the pigmentary colored scales can be well understood as a basic combination of a thin film reflector and a strongly absorbing pigment. PLoS One. Ecol Lett.

Living photonic crystals: butterfly scales - Nanostructure and optical properties. For transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of the scales, wing parts were prefixed in 2 % paraformaldehyde and 2.5 % glutaraldehyde in 0.1 mol l−1 sodium cacodylate buffer (CB, pH 7.3) for ∼ 45 min. Similar optical effects have been noticed in other organisms, like birds-of-paradise, but the underlying structures have very different topologies [39, 40]. 2012;7:e49743.

A bright red collar exists in the border area between head and thorax (Fig. Potyrailo RA, Starkey TA, Vukusic P, Ghiradella H, Vasudev M, Bunning T, Naik RR, Tang Z, Larsen M, Deng T, Zhong S, Palacios M, Grande JC, Zorn G, Goddard G, Zalubovsky S. Discovery of the surface polarity gradient on iridescent Morpho butterfly scales reveals a mechanism of their selective vapor response. For instance, the lower lamina of the scales universally acts as a thin film reflector [10, 11]. © 2020 BioMed Central Ltd unless otherwise stated. 1b). 8e) are indeed very similar to those measured experimentally (Fig. 2f, #3) resembled that of a white cover scale when on a black ground scale (Fig. Scale curvature is not unusual in structured butterfly wing scales and is usually attributed to maximizing the viewing angle and/or shifting and spreading the viewing direction, as was demonstrated in some pierid [32] or riodinid [41] butterfly species having photonic structures similar to those encountered in Trogonoptera brookiana. I learned from you today!

Here, the shape of the scale severely affected the scattering pattern, as the strong curvature of the scale stretched the scattering pattern across the hemisphere (see also [32]). Light diffraction by the ridges causes the line-like pattern in scatterograms [34]. Light microscopy of a white area (Fig. Furthermore, the discodial area of the hindwing is completely blue in the hindwing, but in the male these blue lines are restricted to the basal areas of the wing.

For polarisation-dependent measurements, a linear sheet polarizer was added to the light path of the secondary beam. Quantified interference and diffraction in single Morpho butterfly scales. 2015;10:1–8. It is a not the largest of the birdwing butterflies but it has a wingspan 6 to 7 inches making it impressive!

Entomol Record. a) with a chitin refractive index n The reflectance spectra of both areas (Fig. A previous study also reported the intriguingly complex ultrastructure of the strongly green reflecting wing scales of the birdwing butterfly T. brookiana [20]. 1b) and black cover scales (area 3 of Fig. Opt Express. This reminds us of the case of the yellow and orange wing scales of various pierid butterflies where overlapping ridge lamellae create UV-reflecting multilayers [29–32]. The strongly anisotropic, longitudinal organization of the green scales suggested a strong polarization dependence of the scales’ optical properties. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. Google Scholar. Scanning electron microscopy of single scales demonstrated pronounced ridges, but the space in between the ridges was filled with an almost continuous layer, except for a narrow striped burrow (Fig. Han Z, Li B, Mu Z, Yang M, Niu S, Zhang J, Ren L. An ingenious super light trapping surface templated from butterfly wing scales. [32]).

Article  BMC Evol Biol. 2f are very similar to those measured in the blue and white wing areas of the nymphalines as well as in another papilionid, Papilio xuthus [26].

Furthermore, the ridges of the upper lamina are built of lamellae, which in most Morpho species have extensive overlap [12, 13]. 1985;78:252–64. I just got back from a collecting trip in Fraser's Hill. Proc R Soc B. That yielded distinctly different colors (Fig. The surface of the hairs featured prominent longitudinal ridges, very similar to the ridges of the white and black wing scales (e.g., Fig. We note here that the anatomy of the black scales of T. brookiana is almost identical to that of the white scales, and their lower lamina also acts as a blue thin film reflector. Phys Rev E. 2009;80:051924. The coloration of Rajah Brooke’s birdwings appears to be developed in different ways.
