Polarized iridescence of the tropical carpenter bee, Xylocopa latipes
Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2022 AbstractThe tropical carpenter bee, Xylocopa latipes, has metallic-reflecting, iridescent wings. The wing reflectance spectra for TE- and TM-polarized light depend on the angle of light incidence in a way characteristic for dielectric multilayers. Anatomy indicates the presence of melanin multilayers in the wing’s chitinous matrix.
