Abstract
Optical properties of the spinal cuticle taken from the species of Lucilia sericata are studied by the reflectance measurements and their structural properties by scanning electron microscopy. The multilayer structure of the cuticle has been confirmed from the scanning electron micrographs. The temperature sensitivity of the multilayer structure is documented by the modification of optical properties in a heating process. The heating process and the local heating using the focused laser beam causes the local changes of the optical properties what is finally demonstrated by the structural color shift of the reflected spectra.
