This might have been shared before and I apologise if it has, but it’s worth seeing! A chrysalis was dissecting a model of a chrysalis. They could watch the organs change over time by repeatedly scanning the same chrysalis over many days. And since insects tolerate high doses of radiation, this procedure doesn’t seem to harm them, much less kill them.
