Interactive 3D‐PDF of a female thynnine wasp head (Thynninae: Ariphron sp.) generated using the advanced blender workflow. This 3D‐mesh has been segmented and labeled to provide a highly informative scientific figure. Here, we also provide a basic example of how ‘rigging’ can be used to virtually reposition limbs or other components (in this case the mandibles of the wasp head). This can be thought of as ‘virtual insect pinning’, providing a standardized layout to facilitate examination, with the same reasoning as traditional insect pinning
