Dim Effect

Dim Effect

The Dim Effect is a natural phenomenon in which nature mimics art. The example after which this was named is "Megaceras briansaltini", a rhinoceros beetle which displays the same unique horn structure as the blue rhinoceros beetle Dim from "A Bug's Life" (1998). The horn on Dim was rendered for a more child-friendly appearance, a shape that had never been seen before in nature or even in art. The first such horn structure in nature was seen in "M. briansaltini" eight years later in 2006.
