I wonder if some the hairs themselves could have acted as a prism if they were translucent?
I've seen some pretty intense iridescent colors from bugs before.
That last shot..if look closely, it really looks like the hairs themselves are refracting the light. |

Here's a theory.
Also, most insect hair is hollow, isn't it?
Wouldn't that increase the prismatic effect as well?
Just conjecture, but  .
