Colour enhanced scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Papilio bianor thrasymedes butterfly scales. Papilio bianor, also known as the Chinese peacock, is a large swallowtail butterfly from East Asia. Its attractive iridescent wing patterns in shades of bright blue and deep forest green can give these creatures a wingspan of nearly 10 cm. In this beautiful image, the wings of a Taiwanese subspecies, P. b. thrasymedes, are shown in exquisite detail. | |
