Have you ever admired the magnificent lagoon‑blue wings of Morpho? Behind their mesmerizing beauty lies a true concentration of natural genius. The wings of this butterfly become stiff or bend to optimize flight, but they are also self‑cleaning, antibacterial, and regulate the animal’s temperature from the moment of awakening. As for their wondrous color, achieved without pigments and rare lands subject to depletion, it allows them to communicate and avoid predators! In the book L’éveil du Morpho (Flammarion, 2021) Serge Berthier, physicist and pioneer of biomimetics in France, takes us into the heart of the Amazon forest following this mythical butterfly. He invites us to uncover the solutions adopted by this engineering masterpiece and to look at nature anew
