Butterfly wings

How would you go about simulating the iridescent effect of butterfly wings, which is what I'm trying to do. I can get some cool looking effects, but I'd like them to be more... 'authentic' looking.

Thanks,
Sam

Set them as a "Diffuse" material, add a "Texture Emission" to the "emission" pin and assign the butterfly texturemap to the "efficiency or texture" pin. Or you could do some sort of SSS material.
