Optical Vapor Sensing on Single Wing Scales and on Whole Wings of the <i>Albulina metallica</i> Butterfly

Fast, chemically-selective sensing of vapors using an optical readout can be achieved with the photonic nanoarchitectures occurring in the wing scales of butterflies possessing structural color. These nanoarchitectures are built of chitin and air. The <i>Albulina metallica</i> butterfly...
