ruzuzu commented on the word gyroid
"The gyroids are made of chitin, a polymer used in insect exoskeletons, secreted by wing cells that fold naturally into gyroid shape. After cells die and decompose, the chitin shells remain. Light refracts through them, with subtle variations in gyroid shape and proportion producing different hues."
