3D reconstruction of the head of the orchid bee Euglossa dilemma. The head capsule is shown in green and blue, meant to show the natural colors, while the brain regions within the head capsule have been color-coded: primary processing centers (orange, yellow, aquamarine); secondary processing centers (bright purple, fuchsia); and high order processing centers (red, light purple).
