Fig. 3. Composite images of representative species from several nymphalid
subfamilies (A) Prepona gnorima, (B) Baeotus baeotus, (C)
Memphis xenocles and (D) Morpho cypris. A shows two
differently colored localized bands of polarized iridescence while B and C
exhibit prominent bands of polarized reflectance with an iridescent ground
coloration that is polarized to a lesser extent. D presents a nearly uniform
polarization pattern over the entire wing surface with the exception of the
white diffuse reflecting patches along the midline of both wings.
False-colored portions of the composite images are coded for intensity of
polarization according to the color bar in the corner of each figure.
False-color portions of the images are coded as in
Fig. 1.
