Gene affecting harding of cuticle at the first ecdysis.Spontaneous;homozygotes hatch and develop normally during first instar, distinct albino features appear soon after first ecdysis and die with shrinking; cuticle layer incomplete in hardening and have porous structure, unable to eat leaves and to maintain body-water: Independent spontaneous mutation al2, like al but time of death variable.
