In the Oceans section, your red lens reveals fish, your blue lens shows the other creatures that call each ocean home, and your green lens sheds light on underwater seascapes. In the Bugs section, meet insects through your red lens, other crawling creatures through your blue lens, and the miniature worlds they inhabit through your green lens. In the Dinosaurs section, witness – what else? – dinosaurs through your red lens, other prehistoric creatures through your blue lens, and long-gone environments through your green lens. From the redwood forests of modern-day North America, to the vast, prehistoric expanse of Gondwana, and from the tiniest ant to the blue whale, Illumipedia is a journey through time and around the world to champion nature in all its forms.
