Cuticles were prepped four to five days after injection. Eggshells was removed with tungsten needles and the embryos were transferred to a glass block dish with a drop of 1:4 glycerol/acetic acid. Following incubation in 1:4 glycerol/acetic acid overnight at room temperature, the cuticles were transferred onto a glass slide, oriented, mounted in 1:1 Hoyer’s medium/lactic acid (Stern and Sucena, 2000), covered with a cover glass, and dried overnight at 65 °C.
