      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.},
