2% Agarose-TAE gel displaying the specificity of multiplex primers in the case of duplex formation in freshly extracted colony-reared larval DNA with species-specific amplicon size indicated. Lane 4 demonstrates the expected C. cosyra amplicon at 183 bp with non-specific amplification at 128 bp leading to the formation of a duplex; the larger 183 bp amplicon should be used for identification. Lane 5 is a single 128 bp amplicon indicative of C. quilicii. Lanes 1 & 2: C. capitata, Lanes 3 & 4: C. cosyra, Lanes 5 & 6: C. quilicii, Lanes 7 & 8: C. rosa, Lanes 9 & 10: B. dorsalis, Lane 11: No template control, Lane L: GeneRuler 100 bp DNA ladder (Thermo Scientific). The original gel is presented in Supplementary Fig. S2a.
