lyrics

Black butterflies are 10 to 100 times darker than charcoal, fresh asphalt, black velvet and other everyday black objects. As little as zero point zero six percent of the light that hits them is reflected back to the eye. That approaches the blackest black coatings made by humans to help solar panels absorb more energy from the sun, or that line telescopes to reduce stray light, or that line telescopes to reduce stray light.

Invisible lights
black butterflies
hide your hair

Invisible lights
black butterflies
flutter about your head

Yet they achieve this light-trapping effect using wing scales that are only a few microns deep, just a fraction as thick as the blackest synthetic coatings. So, the light goes into their scales, but very little of it bounces back out. Some butterflies have ultra-black wings that rival the blackest materials made by humans.

Invisible lights
black butterflies
hide your hair

Invisible lights
black butterflies
flutter about your head

Invisible lights
black butterflies
