Telepistemological Themie: Firefly plant, by Madeline Rico

 The model is designed to serve as a biomimicry to firefly-produced light patterns to examine if they can sense their own kind through luminescence alone. An artificial phosphorescent light shines through an inner network of veins in each of the three upside-down mushroom buds. It  creates the same hue as lightning bugs, drawing them like bees to flowers. The mobile phone is held firmly in place at a close distance, where it would record any presence of insects.Firefly plant, by Madeline Rico Firefly plant, by Madeline Rico
