Photonic structures with long‐range order are inherently iridescent , suggesting by current theory. Contrary to this paradigm and inspired by biological photonic structures from hairs of blue tarantulas, a noniridescent photonic structure with long‐range order is shown here. This photonic structure is hierarchical and has high degrees of rotational symmetry in suitable spatial scales.
