Front Cover: Thermo‐responsive photonic polymers with hierarchical structure are synthesized by grafting poly ( N ‐isopropylacrylamide) on Morpho butterfly wing scales. The use of glutaraldehyde plays a crucial role to ensure the connection of PNIPAM with the scales through chemical bonding. A distinct red‐shift in reflectance spectra upon temperature is observed due to the refractive index change of the the whole specimen, demonstrating a thermo‐responsive photonic property. Further details can be found in the article by T. Lu, S. Zhu,* J. Ma, J. Lin, W. Wang, H. Pan, F. Tian, W. Zhang, and D. Zhang* on page 1722.
