@ChouvencL By the way, we know of some artists who graduated from the Department of Entomology at NCHU. They are familiar with scientific art and would be happy to take on some work. Please feel free to contact me if you need their services.

@ChouvencL a good example that AI cannot replace human artist 😂

Been working on an insect-theme card games and i need art to represent the 130+ species. I tried the AI image generation avenue but, it is very limited when It comes to accuracy. Clear fail! "army ants Ecyton are remarkable predators. Major soldiers have amazing mandibles"

House infestation of Microcerotermes 🐜

A tent equipped with a carefully selected mesh can be a helpful tool in augmentative biological control efforts. With infested fruit inside, the mesh keeps pest insects in but allows parasitoids to escape and work as natural enemies of target pests. entomologytoday.org/2022/06/10/pes…
