[ad_1] This 3D rendering, created from computed tomography scans of the mid-section region of the diabolical armored beetle, was x-rayed at the Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source. This region, known as the medial suture, is where you connect the two halves of the beetle’s exoskeleton. (Credit: Jesus Rivera / UC …
