If the sight of insects has long fascinated you, it’s not difficult to understand why…

The beauty and intricacies of these six-legged critters are tough to ignore, and now thanks to the power of Augmented Reality (AR), you can now observe these intricate creatures without leaving the protection of the indoors or having to actually touch them (you’re welcome!)

But how do you do it?

Easy peasy, just search for insects on Google using a mobile device and tap, “View in 3D” to rotate or zoom in and see them at larger-than-life sizes.

You can then bring these insects into your space with AR and adjust its size to better understand how they are like in relation to the things around you. Or if you’re using an Android device, turn up your volume for calming ambient sounds of them hovering around you.

The amazing part of all this is that you can view not only one, but there are 23 creepy crawlies that you can get up and personal with in AR, including the: Atlas beetle, atlas moth, brown cicada, dragonfly, evening cicada, firefly, giant stag, grasshopper, Hercules beetle, hornet, jewel beetle, ladybug, mantis, Miyama stag beetle, morpho butterfly, periodical cicada, robust cicada, rosalia batesi, rhinoceros beetle, shining ball scarab beetle, stag beetle, swallowtail butterfly, and Walker’s cicada.
