Let's fly to the lagoon blue wings of the mythical morpho butterfly, to be inspired by these little jewels of natural engineering, economical and sublime. Both flexible and rigid, antibacterial, self-cleaning and shimmering, brilliantly shining, the wings of the morpho (which also allow it to communicate and avoid predators) have something to fascinate and enlighten us ... By showing us another way, other ways of innovating, inspired by living things and their main principles of multifunctionality. Bio get inspired
