abstract = {The neotropical diamond weevil, Entimus imperialis, is
marked by rows of brilliant spots on the overall black
elytra. The spots are concave pits with intricate patterns
of structural-coloured scales, consisting of large domains
of three-dimensional photonic crystals that have a
diamond-type structure. Reflectance spectra measured from
individual scale domains perfectly match model spectra,
calculated with anatomical data and finite-difference
time-domain methods. The reflections of single domains are
extremely directional (observed with a point source less
than 5°), but the special arrangement of the scales in the
concave pits significantly broadens the angular distribution
of the reflections. The resulting virtually
angle-independent green coloration of the weevil closely
approximates the colour of a foliaceous background. While
the close-distance colourful shininess of E. imperialis may
facilitate intersexual recognition, the diffuse green
reflectance of the elytra when seen at long-distance
provides cryptic camouflage.},
