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
