| Close-up of a peacock feather (Pavo cristatus), showcasing vibrant iridescent colors ranging from green to blue and hints of orange. The intricate barbs and barbules create a shimmering effect due to microscopic structures that diffract light. The central shaft, or rachis, runs through the feather, contributing to its structural support. This phenomenon is an example of structural coloration, commonly seen in bird feathers to attract mates and for other social displays. |
