	abstract = {A mechanically tunable macroscale replica of the gyroid photonic crystal\&nbsp;found in the\&nbsp;Parides sesostris\&nbsp;butterfly{\textquoteright}s wing scales is systematically characterized. By monitoring both photonic frequency changes and the distribution of stress fields within the compressed structure, electromagnetic transmission features are found and can be frequency-tuned and the structure only contains localized high stress fields when highly compressed.},
