It's all about "the birds and the bees." And now, "the silkworm moths and the fruit flies." A chemical ecologist and a genetics researcher at the University of California, Davis, have joined forces to ...

Researchers explore how the domesticated flightless silkworm moth (Bombyx mori), a prominent insect model in olfactory research, uses wing flapping to manipulate airflow, enhancing their ability to ...

U.S. researchers at the University of California-Davis say they have successfully tricked fruit flies into believing silkworm moths are potential mates. It's all about "the birds and the bees." And ...

Here's what you'll learn when you read this story: Researchers who studied silkworms, the larvae of the moth Bombyx mori, have found that higher levels of an enzyme known as NAD+ give them longer ...

Researchers from Shinshu University and Chiba University develop a novel bio-hybrid drone using odor-sensing antennae from silkworm moths. Incorporation of an electroantennography (EAG) sensor to ...

A strikingly green caterpillar about as long as my little finger was attached to a sprig of oak leaves in our yard. Knowing the caterpillar with spikes on its back was the larvae of an Io silkworm ...

Particle guidance by the flapping of flightless silkworm moths was quantified by computational fluid dynamic analyses. (a) The flapping silkworm moths were filmed by two high-speed cameras (1,000 fps) ...
