BUTTERFLY SCALE GYROIDS. “A gyroid is shaped like a stack of boomerangs, each with three blades, that are oriented in alternating directions … butterflies modify these into unique single gyroid structures, which allow all wavelengths of light to pass through except for one, which reflects. The size of the gyroid structure is what determines the color.”
