Résumé

The male of the beetle Hoplia coerulea is known for its spectacular blue-violet iridescence. The blue coloration is caused by the presence of an interesting photonic structure inside the scales which cover the dorsal parts of the insect's body. This structure can be described as the stacking of chitin plates supporting arrays of parallel rods. The change of colour of this structure with humidity is investigated, as well as its response to some other external conditions, such as mechanical strain.
