In vivo visualization of butterfly scale cell morphogenesis in Vanessa cardui
<jats:p>During metamorphosis, the wings of a butterfly sprout hundreds of thousands of scales with intricate microstructures and nano-structures that determine the wings' optical appearance, wetting characteristics, thermodynamic properties, and aerodynamic behavior. Although the function...
