MULTILAYER IRIDESCENCE REFLECTORS. “During the formation of insect integument, thin parallel layers of chitin … that differ in refractive index are secreted … If the spacing of these layers approaches one-quarter the wavelength of visible light (approx. 380–750 nm), one or more colours will be produced by constructive interference.”
