Fig. 2 in Methods for collecting large numbers of exuviae from Coptotermes (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) termite colonies
Fig. 2. Overview of the methods. Coptotermes gestroi workers (n = 1,000) were placed on a Nile Blue A-dyed media pad for 2 d in a Petri dish. Dyed and non-dyed workers were separated. Non-dyed workers, potentially under pre-molt fast, were placed on a Nile Blue A-dyed filter paper and observed for 7 d in a Petri dish. Exuviae, newly molted workers, dyed workers (that acquired dye from the filter paper during the 7 d observation), and cadavers were collected.
