Fig. 2. Examples of the efficiency of selective sensillar shaving. Light micrographs. (A) Lateral guard setae selectively removed. Every annulus bears two rows of aesthetascs (AE) and one asymmetric seta (AS) at their lateral edge. Medial guard setae (GS); companion setae (CS). (B) Lateral guard setae and asymmetric setae selectively removed (animal from Exp. 1). Every annulus bears two rows of aesthetascs (AE), some of which are damaged (asterisks) either by the shaving procedure or due to natural causes. Of asymmetric setae, only some stumps remain (arrows). Medial guard setae (GS). (C) Medial guard setae and aesthetascs selectively removed (animal from Exp. 2). Of the aesthetascs, only bases remain (asterisk). Every annulus bears one asymmetric seta (AS) with some exceptions where the AS either has been eliminated accidentally (arrow) when shaving the aesthetascs or was lost by natural causes. Lateral guard setae (GS).
