uspN325A usp2 animals progress normally through to apolysis of the the epidermis away from the cuticle. Subsequently, uspN325A usp2 animals do not show most of the morphogenetic events of puparium formation: anterior spiracles do not evert to their full extension or proper angle, the cuticle does not become barrel-shaped and instead remains soft and untanned. These mutants then die within a day or two.
