About this clipart
The diagram shows a dorsal view of a butterfly wing divided into distinct color-pattern zones: blue basal bands near the body, tan central bands across the wing disc, and red marginal/submarginal bands with prominent ocelli (eye-spots) along the edge. Each region is labeled to clarify morphological terminology used in lepidopteran genetics and phylogenetics. The image originates from a Nature Reviews Genetics publication, emphasizing developmental gene regulation behind these patterns.
Used in entomology, evolutionary biology, and genetics education to explain wing pattern formation, mimicry, and adaptive traits; ideal for academic articles, textbook figures, or museum exhibits targeting students and researchers.
