Scientists with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say a new breed of tiny flying robots that weigh less than a gram ...

Other insect pollinators, like wasps and flies, are carnivores in the larval stage, so during that time they need to eat small arthropods—like spiders and centipedes—and insects. Beyond that ...

You can have a beautiful, productive garden while working with nature to manage insect pests. As you incorporate various eco-friendly pest management strategies, you will encourage songbirds, ...

First off, let us define "bugs." To an entomologist, a person who studies insects, "bugs" refers to the insects that are members of the Order Hemiptera; think cicadas, leaf hoppers and shield bugs.

New insect-scale microrobots can fly more than 100 times longer than previous versions. The new bots, also significantly faster and more agile, could someday be used to pollinate fruits and ...

The results of cowslip observations carried out with the help of citizen scientists from 32 countries in over 5,200 locations shed light on the well-being of insect-pollinated plants under ...

Some flowers go to extraordinary lengths to attract pollinators. Bee orchids mimic the shape and scent of bees in order to lure them into ‘pseudocopulation’, where the male insect attempts to mate ...

The results of cowslip observations carried out with the help of citizen scientists from 32 countries in over 5,200 locations shed light on the well-being of insect-pollinated plants under ...

At Penn State Extension's Greenhouse Growers Day, Patricia Prade presented ways to protect pollinator insects when using ...

MIT researchers have developed highly agile robotic insects that could transform artificial pollination, enabling fruit and vegetable farming inside multilevel warehouses. Inspired by real ...
