abstract = {Vivid structural colours in butterflies are caused by
photonic nanostructures scattering light. Structural colours
evolved for numerous biological signalling functions and
have important technological applications. Optically, such
structures are well understood, however insight into their
development in vivo remains scarce. We show that actin is
intimately involved in structural colour formation in
butterfly wing scales. Using comparisons between iridescent
(structurally coloured) and non-iridescent scales in adult
and developing H. sara, we show that iridescent scales have
more densely packed actin bundles leading to an increased
density of reflective ridges. Super-resolution microscopy
across three distantly related butterfly species reveals
that actin is repeatedly re-arranged during scale
development and crucially when the optical nanostructures
are forming. Furthermore, actin perturbation experiments at
these later developmental stages resulted in near total loss
of structural colour in H. sara. Overall, this shows that
actin plays a vital and direct templating role during
structural colour formation in butterfly scales, providing
ridge patterning mechanisms that are likely universal across
lepidoptera.},
