k Moth wing scales, SEM Moth wing. Coloured scanning electron micrograph SEM of scales on a moth. A moth is covered in many tiny scales. The scales are modified hairs, or setae, and are made of chitin, a common substance in insect exoskeletons. The colours of a moths wings is produced by the diffraction of light by the microscopic structure of these scales.
