Characterization of forward crawling in third-instar larvae. A A fluorescence image of a third-instar larva with the anterior to the top. The segmental boundaries were visualized using tubP-Gal4, UAS-fondue::GFP. B A schematic of the segment boundaries (y0–y10) and the segment names (T2–A8). C Displacement of the segment boundaries during larval crawling. D Kinematics parameters based on segmental boundary dynamics. E A schematic of the segment names. F Segment length changes during larval crawling. G Kinematics parameters in segmental length change
