Data from: Insects as radar targets: Morphometric Data

The dataset contains simple morphometric data (body length, body width, mass) for 597 individual adult, flight-capable, insects from 65 species. For those specimens for which the information is available, dorso-ventral thickness ("depth") and radar cross section data (for a radio frequency of 9.4 GHz) are also provided. The data have been collated from a number of sources, some published and others not previously openly accessible. The dataset was compiled in support of a program of research on the use of radar to observe insects in flight.
