As we watch dragonflies skim across water, we witness more than elegance. We see ancient survival refined through time.
And sometimes, we see strength in stillness. #Dragonfly #InsectBehavior #NatureFacts #WildlifeBiology #AnimalAdaptation #WetlandLife

🐝 Revolutionizing insect tracking in the wild! 🐝

Scientists have introduced Fast Lock-On (FLO) tracking, a cutting-edge method combining infrared illumination and retroreflective markers to record high-resolution outdoor videos of insects in their natural habitats. #InsectBehavior #Ecology
High-resolution outdoor videography of insects using Fast Lock-On tracking
Fast Lock-On tracking enables recording trajectories and high-speed videos of insects behaving over large areas in the wild.

Do you ever think about how insects move, sense, and respond and do insects have nerves and brains? You’ll find they have both nerves and a brain, organized around a central brain and a ventral nerve cord with ganglia. #insectbehavior #insectbrains #neuralnetworks
