Colour changes upon cooling of Lepidoptera scales containing photonic nanoarchitectures [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 The effects produced by the condensation of water vapours from the ambient in the various intricate nanoarchitectures occurring in the wing scales of several Lepidoptera species were investigated by controlled cooling (from room temperature to -5 - -10 {\deg}C) combined with in situ measurement of changes in the reflectance spectra.

Manipulate the coiling and uncoiling movements of Lepidoptera proboscis by its conformation optimizing [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Many kinds of adult Lepidoptera insects possess a long proboscis which is used to suck liquids and has the coiling and uncoiling movements. Although experiments revealed qualitatively that the coiling movement is governed by the hydraulic mechanism and the uncoiling movement is due to the musculature and the elasticity, it needs a quantitative ...
