It is related to publication in PLoS genetics:

Prior to measurement, the honey bee wing images were converted from the JPG to PNG format and flipped horizontally. Subsequently, the coordinates of 19 landmarks were determined using IdentiFly software. The position of the landmarks is consistent with that described by:
