昆虫世界

Overview

昆虫世界 is a web-based interactive 3D insect specimen museum featuring 63 species. Unlike traditional scan-based modeling, every insect model in this project is generated segment by segment with code according to morphological features. ### Key Capabilities Users can interact with these 3D specimens directly in the browser: - **Rotate & Zoom**: Observe morphological details from every angle. - **Cross-section**: View internal structures of insects. - **Click Annotations**: Tap annotation points across the body to read descriptions of each part. - **Dynamic Demos**: Watch animations of wing flapping and metamorphosis. ### Coverage The project spans multiple insect orders, including Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera, Odonata, Mantodea, Hemiptera, Orthoptera, Phasmatodea, Diptera, Neuroptera, Dermaptera, Megaloptera, Blattodea, and Trichoptera. Each species comes with its Chinese name, Latin scientific name, and a short phrase describing its ecological habits, such as "Allomyrina dichotoma — a gladiator raised in rotting leaves" or "Monarch butterfly — an orange migratory bird that knows the way." ### Who It's For This product is designed for users who want to learn about insects like naturalists. It suits enthusiasts, students, and educators interested in insect anatomy, life cycles, and taxonomy.
