Confocal laser scanning microscopic images of male D. mexicali antenna. A Antenna with the most basal branch (branch of 1st flagellomere) missing. Bluish area at base of branches indicates a high concentration of resilin; orange and red indicate sclerotized regions; green indicates softer, non-sclerotized regions B Magnified view of branch articulation. Purple and pink areas indicate high concentrations of resilin in the cuticle; blue indicates areas of extremely high resilin concentration; red indicates strongly sclerotized regions.
