Breathing tube on a fruit fly's pupa. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a breathing tube,or spiracle. This fruit fly is Drosophila melanogaster (wild type Oregon R),and its larva develop within a structure called a puparium,from which pupal spiracles project outward. The anterior pair of spiracles terminate in tubelike extensions,called spiracular papillae (red). The exposed ends open in narrow slits,which take in air and pass it to the developing pupa.
