Close up microscope image of the Lepidiota Stigma beetles See MASONS story MNBEETLE; Scientists have found an ultra-white colouring that could be used to make extra bright paper, paints and computer screens using BEETLES. Cambridge University researchers have found that the scales on the Cyphochilus beetle, which is native to South-East Asia, are able to scatter light better than anything else in nature. To the naked eye the scattered light appears as a brilliant bright whiteness. The remarkable discovery is revealed in a research paper published today (15/8) in the journal Scientific Report.
