Is the photonic crystal in the butterflies T. imperialis and P. sesostris optimal?

An identical triclinic photonic crystal occurs within the green scales of two unrelated species of butterfly: Teinopalpus imperialis and Parides sesostris. A photonic band structure calculation is performed to determine if the structure is optimal
