COVER Butterfly wing patterns are mosaics of colored scales, as shown in this high-magnification image of a painted lady (Vanessa cardui) wing. A shared set of deeply conserved gene regulatory sequences are shown to control color pattern formation across species, suggesting that an ancient genetic architecture underlies wing pattern development. See pages 249 and 304.
