For centuries, the dazzling colours and intricate wing designs of butterflies have fascinated people. These insects have an incredible variety of markings, from the bright warning patterns of tropical ...

New research on butterfly genomes has revealed that the genetic components that produce different splotches of colour on wings can be mixed up between species by interbreeding to create new patterns, ...

Many butterflies develop wing patterns that mimic other species to protect themselves from predators. While growing complex body parts like wings involves many genes, the difference between two ...

A new study helps bring the incredible color and pattern variation in butterflies into focus. The results align with a growing body of evidence that suggests butterfly-wing diversity really boils down ...

The iconic eyespots that some moths and butterflies use to ward off predators likely evolved in distinct ways, providing insights into how these insects became so diverse. A new study manipulated ...
