Welcome!
The Insect Color Database is a collaborative resource designed for scientists researching insect color, pattern, and underlying mechanisms that produce these elements. At its core, ICDB is a repository for various forms of insect color data including images, reflectance and absorbance spectra, even TEM images of structural morphology. ICDB allows for searching, viewing, downloading, and performing analyses of color data.
