5G technology, operating at millimeter-wave frequencies, increases RF-EMF ex-
posure for insects, may cause dielectric heating and affecting their physiology and
behavior. Understanding these effects is critical, as insects are vital to ecosys-
tems and agriculture. This study, part of the Horizon Europe project ETAIN,
uses CT scans to create high-resolution 3D insect models, refined in Blender
and used in Sim4Life for electromagnetic simulations. By assigning specific di-
electric properties to different model parts, we assess 5G’s effects accurately.

Our work highlights Blender’s role in advancing ecological research, adhering
to FAIR data principles, and sharing models via repositories and our Sketchfab
account.
