## TL;DR

This paper corrects a previous study about the coloration mechanism in the Anoplophora graafi longhorn beetle.

## Contribution

The paper provides a correction to the original findings regarding the beetle's structural coloration.

## Key findings

- The original study's explanation of the beetle's coloration was found to be inaccurate.
- The correction clarifies the structural basis of the beetle's coloration.
- The revised findings provide a more accurate understanding of the beetle's biophotonic structures.
