Brochosomes as an antireflective camouflage coating for leafhoppers by Wei Wu, Qianzhuo Mao, Zhuang-Xin Ye, Zhenfeng Liao, Hong-Wei Shan, Jun-Min Li, Chuan-Xi Zhang, Jian-Ping Chen

“…To counter this threat, insects employ a variety of nano- and microstructures on their cuticular layer to manipulate and interact with light, enhancing antireflective properties and providing camouflage or reducing detectability by predators. Leafhoppers have a unique extracuticular coating called brochosome, yet its antireflective functions and protein composition remain unclear. …”
