Stable structural color patterns displayed on transparent insect wings.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 11 Jan 2011

Shevtsova Ekaterina, Hansson Christer, Janzen Daniel H, Kjærandsen Jostein

Abstract excerpt

Color patterns play central roles in the behavior of insects, and are important traits for taxonomic studies. Here we report striking and stable structural color patterns--wing interference patterns (WIPs)--in the transparent wings of small Hymenoptera and Diptera, patterns that have been largely...
