Abstract

Butterflies often produce wing colors that can switch on/off with viewing angle, but Kelley et al. report a nocturnal moth with patterns that change in shape and position with viewing angle. These effects are generated using specialized mirror-like nanostructures, yielding dynamic patterns that may facilitate signaling in dim light.
