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 ...

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 3D vision - providing a new model to improve visual perception in robots. Most knowledge about 3D vision has come from vertebrates, however, a team from ...

When taking high-resolution 3D scans of insects, scientists typically have to kill their test subjects, which isn’t always ideal. By taking advantage of an insect’s ability to survive oxygen-poor ...

A new, simple scanning system can create precise 3D models of insects in color. The system uses off-the-shelf equipment, including a camera and a computer, to obtain detailed, true-color 3D images of ...
