Fly Parasite Turns Honey Bees into Zombies. Wisdom of Underwater Colors - Inspiring Photo Set & Design Signal - Your Ultimate Design Destination! Sep21 Well guys we’ve decided to publish this photo set because of multiple reasons that we think are all quite important. First of all these photos are really worth being seen and it is our duty to share this collection with you. Second thing is about the colors – I have compelled all photos due a highly saturated color and hue of each picture. Feeling and picking the right color is very important for any designer and the best method to enhance your color sensing is via natural objects (we all know they’re perfect, unlike our designs). Here you’ll enjoy amazing sea creatures of absolutely various colors – from black to deep blue and even transparent white. Another great thing about all these photos is that we can find here some ideas for future projects because sea creatures always surprise us with the amazing variety of shapes, colors and styles.

Ready for my close-up! Yikes! Yellow-billed Blue Magpie - Gold-billed Magpie - Urocissa flavirostris - Corvidae - Birds of India. Alaska Science Center - Beak Deformities. Butterfly wings feel the heat & News in Science (ABC Science) News in Science Monday, 13 February 2012 Stuart GaryABC Lepidoptric imaging Scientists are using a five million year old design to make a better infrared detector. Dr Radislav Potyrailo and colleagues at General Electric in the United States are copying the microscopic structures found on the scales of butterfly wings to develop new technology with medical, industrial and military applications.

Reporting in the journal Nature Photonics, Potyrailo and colleagues examined the iridescent colours produced by the wings of the tropical Morpho sulkowskyi butterfly, found in Columbia, Ecuador and Peru. The morpho genus of butterflies first appeared five million years ago. "The complex geometry of these 125 nanometre sized tree-shaped structures causes light to bounce around resulting in multi-layer interference patterns," Potyrailo says. "The infrared radiation causes the nanostructures to heat up and expand and to a lesser degree change its refractive index," says Potyrailo. A better detector.
