Today's Creation Moment: The Light-Emitting Swallowtail.
Genesis 1:3 "And God said, 'Let there be light;' and there was light."
Though tiny, the scales of the swallowtail butterfly's wing are similar in design to light-emitting diodes. We say similar because the design is closer to a specialized light-emitting diode that puts out six times as much light as a standard LED.
The
blue-green wing of the swallowtail is covered with millions of tiny
scales. Each microscopic scale has three layers. The top layer is made
up of thousands of hollow cylinders shaped in a honeycomb pattern. There
is fluorescent pigment within the sides of those cells. The second
layer adds the blue-green color to entering light, and the bottom layer
reflects it back out. As the light enters, the top layer focuses and
reflects all the blue-green light that enters it. The second layer turns
any other color entering light – including ultraviolet light –
blue-green, and the bottom layer reflects it back out.
The efficiency of the delicate structure has
been compared to LEDs that have two-dimensional photonic crystals that
put out six times as much light as a regular LED. As one scientist put
it, they had no idea that the design would be so "precise" and
"refined."
Of course it's precise and refined, showing an
understanding of light! It was designed by the same Creator Who created
light in the first place.
