The 4th instar larvae and pupae of Pxkmo and Pxcardinal yellow-eye knock-out lines. a-c: larval body including head and partial thorax. d-g: dissected larval heads. h-j: dissected larval testes. a, d and h: wildtype larva. b, e and i: Pxkmo larva. c, f and J: Pxcardinal larva. White dash rectangles are used to indicate dorsal protothorax of larvae. Dissected brains are highlighted with white dashed lines while colorless ocelli are indicated with red dashed circles. a, b, c and g: dorsal view of larval heads. d-f: lateral view of larval heads. K: wildtype pupa. l: Pxkmo pupa. m: Pxcardinal pupa. Scale bar = 0.5 mm
