      I learned about “mirror spiders” from here (despite living in Australia I’d never heard of them before), and here’s an open access paper in Nature that dives into the mechanism:

      “Animals precisely control the morphology and assembly of guanine crystals to produce diverse optical phenomena in coloration and vision.”
