• It gives a unique augmented reality experience which pairs with a taxonomic research paper.
• It presents six new species of Strumigenys ants, also recognised as tiny trap-jaw ants, from Fiji.
• The scientists have used 3D x-ray scans to create digital models of the ants.
• The application also allows users to view 3D models of ant specimens in augmented reality.
• It also allows them to place ants in the real world using the App.
• Users can even magnify the species as per their choice.
• The research was published in Insect Systematics and Diversity.
