Tony explains a small organism.

It's actually the size of a grain of rice,

but he has two models the size of yams to demonstrate.

One is made of green plastic struts like a supermarket strawberry container.

Apparently the surface of the tiny organism is sectional like a geodesic dome,

and opens out into a flat rectangular sheet one and a half feet by one foot,

that looks exactly like a reflective pool of water.

The organism traps and eats insects that are fooled into landing on it.
