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 ...

If we present a story with the terms "praying mantis" and "3D", you are probably going to assume you have wandered into the entertainment section by mistake and are expecting a review of a very bad ...

A group of praying mantises donned tiny, 'old-school' 3D glasses in the name of science. Researchers at Newcastle University proved that these invertebrates use 3D perception for hunting, and they say ...

These might be the most stylish bugs around. Scientists made praying mantises wear tiny 3D glasses to test if the insects have strereopsis, or 3D vision. While these insects won't be watching the new ...

Some creatures in the animal kingdom have developed a clever trick for staying alive: pretending to be something far scarier than they really are. A new Nature study has revealed how this evolutionary ...

Scientists fitted praying mantises with tiny 3D glasses to understanding how they see the world, and discovered the insects have a “completely new form” of vision unlike that of any other known ...

Using ground up insects and a 3D printer, academics at London South Bank University believe finding a way to make bugs more palatable could be an answer to future food shortages. Scientist Susana ...

Learn how a new study uses 3D printing to better understand some of insect evolution’s greatest illusions. Some creatures in the animal kingdom have developed a clever trick for staying alive: ...
