| Bicyclus anynana |   |
transgenic B.anynana expressing EGFP in the eyes |
| antibody stains showing the proteins Distal-less (in red) and engrailed (in green) on a developing pupal wing |   |
corresponding eyespot on the adult wing |
| green fluorescent protein is produced in precise patterns on the butterfly wing by laser activation of the correspondent gene through a cut-out stencil |  |
the EGFP gene is turned on via the Drosophila heat-shock promoter that responds to changes in cell temperature produced by the laser |
| antibody stain for the protein engrailed showing the set of seven hindwing eyespots on a developing pupal wing |  |
|
| the dorsal forwings of several Bicyclus species showing a range of colored scales, most of them reflective in the UV |
