Cuticular modified air sacs underlie white coloration in the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae

Manuela Rebora et al. use electron and fluorescence microscopy together with reflectance spectra to examine structural white patches present in the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae. Their results suggest that white coloring is a result of transparent cuticle and modified air sacs within these patch...

Cuticular modified air sacs underlie white coloration in the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae
description Manuela Rebora et al. use electron and fluorescence microscopy together with reflectance spectra to examine structural white patches present in the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae. Their results suggest that white coloring is a result of transparent cuticle and modified air sacs within these patches, providing further insight into how structural white emerges in insects.
