Butterfly wing patterns as model systems to study the evolution of development.
        Ant=F3nia Monteiro, State Univ. of New York, Buffalo

SCIENTISTS MAKE A BUTTERFLY GLOW
from BBC

US scientists have created the first glowing butterfly, by inserting two genes into its DNA that give jellyfish fluorescent properties. The genetically modified African butterfly glows luminous green in the dark and is part of a project to understand how wing patterns emerge. Very little is known about the genetic basis for the diversity of colours and patterns seen on butterfly wings.

The research is published in the Royal Society journal Biology Letters.
