Fig. 3

Multispectral image analysis of the dorsal side of the wings of Hermetia illucens evaluated in hue degrees according to the HSB coordinate system (red at 0 degrees, green at 120, and blue at 240 degrees). (a) Frequency in hue degrees in male and female wing. (b) Overall frequency relative to the degrees corresponding to yellow (30°–90°), green (91°–150°), cyan (151°–210°), blue (211°–270°), magenta (271°–330°), and red (0°–30° to 331°–360°). Columns in (b) indicate means ± SEM. Ns denotes not significant difference, * indicates significant difference at p < 0.05, Student’s t test for independent samples.
