Chrysidid wasps in the subfamily Chrysidinae are brood parasitoids or cleptoparasites of other insects and famous for their
cuticular iridescence. In this study, we examine the dorsal abdominal cuticle of the chrysidid wasp Hedychrum rutilans to identify the underlying color mechanism. Using scanning electron microscopy, reflectance spectral analysis, and theoretical
calculations, we demonstrate the presence of an epicuticular multilayer reflector consisting of six lamellae with a thickness
of 185 nm each. The lamellae exhibit a rough surface probably functioning as spacers between the individual layers. The reflector
has a measured reflectance maximum at λ = 630 nm, i.e., in the red part of the visible spectrum of light at normal incidence and the reflectance maximum shifts to
green as the angle of incidence increases. Complementary theoretical modeling corroborates the view that the epicuticular
multilayer generates the iridescent color of the chrysidid cuticle.
