Nature’s genius: Biomimicry in action!

Did you know that butterfly wings create stunning colors without a single drop of pigment — just light and microscopic structures?

This natural magic is now inspiring innovations in screens and fabrics!

Butterfly wings, especially those of species like the Morpho butterfly, don't get their vibrant colors from pigments. Instead, they use structural coloration — a phenomenon where microscopic structures manipulate light to produce vivid colors.

That’s biomimicry — when humans copy nature’s genius to solve problems!
But how do we go from bug to brilliant invention?

By following six clever steps:

• 1. Define the problem
• 2. Biologize it (ask: how does nature do this?)
• 3. Discover cool creatures and strategies
• 4. Abstract the secret behind the magic
• 5. Emulate it in your own designs
• 6. Evaluate if it really works

Next time you see a bug, a leaf, or a bird… ask yourself: “What can I learn from this?”
Nature’s not just cool — it’s the ultimate designer!
