What is Imaginal disc?
Insects have a three-stage development. They go from egg to [[larva]] to final [[imago]] (adult insect). In the [[pupa]] larval structures are broken down and rebuilt as adult structures. The imaginal disks are a key part of this. From them the adult structures are formed.<ref>Beira, Jorge V.; Paro, Renato 2016. The legacy of ''Drosophila'' imaginal discs, ''Chromosoma''.
