Structural Color
Did you know that the beautiful colors of their wings often arise not through pigments but through a phenomenon called structural color?

Life’s Principles: Unlocking Nature’s Design Secrets through Biomimicry
At the core of biomimicry lie the Life’s Principles, a set of universal design guidelines derived from the patterns and strategies found in nature. These principles serve as a framework for sustainable and regenerative solutions, offering insights into how organisms have adapted and flourished over time. By emulating these principles, we can create solutions that are efficient and resilient and in harmony with the natural world.
