Dr. Bodo Wilts of the Adolph Merkele Institute at University of Fribourg and Vinod published a study on how the rainbow weevil (Pachyrrhynchus congetsus pavonius) is able to tunably produce the rainbow-hued iridescence on a scale-by-scale basis. Here's the official press release from Yale-NUS College.

ABOUT USWelcome to our Evolutionary Photonics lab, where we hang out at the interface of organismal, evolutionary, and developmental biology, soft matter physics, biomaterials, biophotonics, and biomimetics. We are interested in a precise, holistic understanding of bio-photonic nano-structures underlying animal and plant structural coloration (both iridescent and non-iridescent colors; both extant and extinct) in terms of their optical and biological function, development, evolution, and biomimetic and bio-inspired technological applications!
