Researchers from the University of Konstanz have studied how insect brains take in complex light stimuli and process them in parallel. They are the first to have found evidence that information is ...

A camera smaller than a fingernail can now see what most high-speed cameras miss. Inspired by the eyes of insects, scientists have created a tiny, powerful device that captures fast-moving scenes in ...

A novel bio-inspired camera capable of ultra-high-speed imaging with high sensitivity was developed by mimicking the visual structure of insect eyes. The compound eyes of insects can detect ...

Toad bugs can be found along the shorelines of streams and rivers in 40 states and three Canadian provinces, according to researchers. Andy Calhoun via Unsplash A small insect, which researchers ...

Queensland insect enthusiasts are using their cameras to help researchers study bug populations, as part of a national citizen science project. Bug Hunt, developed by the Invasive Species Council and ...

A compass that relies on polarised light can use the sun to tell where magnetic north is, even when it is cloudy. It is based on how some insects navigate and could be used when conventional magnetic ...

Insects exhibit impressive agility and responsiveness even when faced with low-light conditions. The secret lies in their compound eyes, which are capable of detecting motion with incredible speed and ...

Like most animals, insects rely on eyesight for orientation. In order for them to get the best possible picture of their surroundings, input from photoreceptors in the eye must be processed afterwards ...
