Some flies in the Drosophila melanogaster lineage exhibit wing spots, which vary among species. Examining the underlying genetics of spot determination, Arnoult et al. (p.1423) provide evidence for a two-step scenario for the origin and diversification of patterning novelty in these fly wings. The findings suggest that the two-step model may generally apply to the emergence and diversification of traits in plants and animals.
