An insect’s color can have many biological functions. Color patterns can be used to attract mates, hide from predators, establish territories, or ambush prey. Insects have an extraordinarily diverse array of color patterns, but all are produced by two simple mechanisms. Colors are produced in two different ways: by chemical pigments or by microscopic structures on the surface of the insect.
