Butterfly wing patterns have a basic plan to them, which is manipulated by non-coding regulatory DNA to create the diversity of wings seen in different species, according to new research. The study, ...

Butterfly wings show a spectacular diversity of patterns of colours and shapes both within and among species. Butterfly wing patterns are ideal systems for an integrated study of the reciprocal ...

Engineers have continuously observed scales growing and assembling on a butterfly wing for the first time as the developing insect transforms inside its chrysalis. If you brush against the wings of a ...
