Insectilofra project title

2022

"Researchers at the CIBPV (Botanical Research Centre of the Basque Country), fed up with various insect pests endangering their research, have created artificial insects called Insectiflora to kill them"

For the design of the different Insectiflora, they have decided that each of them is going to be associated with a plant or tree and eliminates a single pest.

The shape of each Insectiflora is determined by the needs of the plant or tree associated with it:

  • Amount of water: affects the legs.

  • Moisture content: affects the body.

  • Temperature range: affects the head.

  • Amount of light: affects the wings.

The colour is given by the colours of the plant or tree.

*Example of how the needs of the plant or tree affect to the Insectiflora
