Here's an interesting optical effect caused by structural coloration (rather than being due to pigment) - depending upon the viewing angle and lighting, this species of Morpho butterfly (Morpho eugenia) can appear either sky blue, or bright silver -

It's hard to choose, but I think that Morpho cypris is probably my favorite butterfly species -

Morpho rhetenor helena is similarly intense blue -
