Bioinspired micrograting arrays mimicking the reverse color diffraction elements evolved by the butterfly Pierella luna

Recently, diffraction elements that reverse the color sequence normally observed in planar diffraction gratings have been found in the wing scales of the butterfly Pierella luna. Here, we describe the creation of an artificial photonic material mimicking this reverse color-order diffraction effect....
