Butterfly wing scale. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a scale from the underside of a wing of a blue morpho (Morpho peleides) butterfly. Layers of wing scales are transparent but tiny ridges on the scales break up and reflect light to give the scales their shimmering iridescent appearance.
