Résumé : |
The authors have been studying why some butterflies have ultra-black wings that rival the blackest materials made by humans, using wing scales that are only a fraction as thick. |

- Fig. 1 : The black patches on the wings of some butterflies are 10 to 100 times darker than everyday black objects. Clockwise from top left: Catonephele numilia, Parides sesostris, P. iphidamas, Heliconius doris
- Fig. 2 : Zoom in to a butterfly's wing, and you'll see tayers of deticate scates. The wing scates of this Rajah Brooke's birdwing butterfly owe their velvety black appearance to a porous texture that helps them trap light
- Fig. 3 : A close-up look at the wings of the Rajah Brooke's birdwing butterfly with a scanning electron microscope reveals tiny structures in their wing scales that trap light so that virtually none escapes |
