Figure 7. Reflectance measurements for the green region of the elytra of the African Longhorn Beetle (Prosopocera lactator).

An image of this beetle is shown in (b) clearly showing the green regions of its elytra. (c) small angle x-ray scattering data taken from the green region of the African Longhorn Beetle elytra. The structure is scaled and indexed according to the peak at q* (1.83 × 10⁻² nm⁻¹) 343 nm and √3q* and √4q*. Other peaks can also be seen at q values of § (1.12 × 10⁻² nm⁻¹) = 560 nm and † (5.03 × 10⁻² nm⁻¹) = 124.8 nm. (d) a TEM image of the green region of the African Longhorn Beetle elytra.
