Drab brown moths’ infrared glittering could be key to tracking different species through the night
Moths' drab gray and brown coats may not capture our imaginations as much as their colorful butterfly cousins do, but according to a recent study, that's more a failure of human eyesight than of moths themselves.
Beyond exposing moths' beauty, the new data also revealed species-specific structural differences in how the insects' wings reflect and scatter infrared light. The diversity of these infrared features—which come from microscopic scales that cover moth wings—could eventually help scientists identify moth species using lidar , a tool that emits and senses infrared light.
