Diverse lepidopteran insects cause serious damage to plants, and their larvae possess a crucial epidermal barrier against environmental stimuli. Their ultraviolet (UV) resistance is enhanced by accumulating uric acid granules in the epidermis, suggesting that genes involved in this process may be potential targets for lepidopteran pest management.
