The discovery of how insects can tell different sugars apart could one day help humans mimic that ability, researchers say.

Not much is known about the predator fly Laphria saffrana. New research identified how they count the wingbeats of their favored prey, letting it slip out of focus before adjusting their heads.

A queen’s main job in the hive is to lay eggs and pass genes on to offspring. But many bee species do just fine without queens or big colonies.

And are flowering earlier as a result of the climate crisis.

Climate change puts pressure on British butterflies and moths - sometimes pushing them to the edges of their geographical range or shifting the timing of their life cycle so they can’t feed.

Pollution degrades the chemicals wildflowers give off that help nighttime pollinators find them, researchers report.

The ermine moth’s wing structures are fascinating because they rely on a mechanism we teach our engineering students to avoid

The springtime emergence of vast swarms of cicadas can be explained by a mathematical model of collective decision-making with similarities to models

A new study shows how artificial light at night scrambles insects’ normal flight patterns, pulling them off course into orbit around the light.

Microplastic pollution is a growing problem − one lab is looking at tiny insects as inspiration for how these pollutants might move through water.
