Visualizing the lattice structures pattern in a dragonfly with its transparent gossamer wings using a vision language model.
Butterfly wings exhibit non-periodic lattice structures that are quasi-ordered or hierarchical photonic nanostructures rather than simple periodic lattices like cubic or hexagonal. These nanostructures primarily serve optical functions, such as creating iridescent colors through structural coloration, rather than pigmentation.
Deep sea sponge Euplectella Aspergillum (also known as the Venus Flower Basket) features a complex lattice framework that has inspired the design of mechanical metamaterials with enhanced structural stability and resilience to buckling.
