Now let's talk about moths. Nearly 100 years ago there was a major breakthrough in our understanding of #butterfly #wing patterns. The majority of #Lepidoptera aren't #butterflies, they're #moths. How do butterfly wings fit in with broader wing pattern #evolution in this order?
I found that the relationship between wing pattern & wing #venation in moths is so iron-clad that I was able to predict—and then find—a wing #vein in Lepidoptera that was previously known only from #caddisflies.
