Digital insects A new colour 3D modelling system developed in Australia is digitising even the tiniest insects to help researchers study them better. The models could also have applications in ...

Scientists have developed a cost-effective, off-the-shelf system to obtain natural-color 3-D models of insects. Scientists studying insects rely on collected specimens that are often shared between ...

AUSTRALIA’S invasive alien insects should watch out. A 3D identification system now under development picks them out from the native crowd, making the business of exterminating them quicker and safer.

The serious bug collector will tell you that no entomological compendium is ever truly complete. Even the most vivid color-wheels of butterflies are missing something—often many somethings—either ...

Miniature glasses have proved that mantises use 3-D vision, providing a new model to improve visual perception in robots. 3D vision in mantises was originally shown in the 1980s but this work used ...

High-resolution fossil scans give detailed portraits of 300-million-year-old juvenile insects. Researchers have constructed three-dimensional (3D) portraits of two 300-million-year-old insect nymphs ...
