Continuous live imaging of J. coenia pupal hindwing from 24 h-72 h APF (13–39% development), with SOP nucleus pseudocolored in blue. The SOP nucleus undergoes partial nuclear condensation with no evidence of a division, followed by a division that results in a scale- and socket-building cell.
Lepidopteran scale cells derive from sensory organ precursors through a canonical lineage
