An unexpected sight in the entomology lab at Harper Adams University this evening. One of our PhD students, John Owen, is setting up his latest aphid vision experiment under red light. It gave the lab an otherworldly vibe and I could only see with a green hue for a while after looking

A moth found in northern Australia and South-East Asia has an astonishing camouflage trick: it creates an optical illusion to look like a three-dimensional leaf complete with a raised midrib, when it is actually smooth. newscientist.com/article/246804…
