Scientists have discovered that moth larvae could have a major role in solving the global pollution crisis.

A chance discovery from the University of Cambridge showed that the worms bodies produce an enzyme that degrades polyethylene-based shopping bags. The grubs - normally used for fishing bait - will hopefully be put to good use in the future to fight plastic pollution, which can take up to 400 years to biodegrade naturally.

Meet BIKI, the underwater drone that swims like a fish.

The robofish comes equipped with an Ultra HD 4K camera and can dive up to 196 feet.

BIKI can be controlled via an app on your phone/tablet or by using its waterproof remote when you're submerged in water with the robot.

The bionic design of BIKI won't spook other fish, so it can also be used to document underwater sea life.

BIKI has been fully funded on Kickstarter and can be bought for around £461.

Business Insider spoke with expert navigator Tristan Gooley, author of "How To Read Water: Clues & Patterns from Puddles to the Sea", about how the light reflections in water have hidden clues to tell us how choppy waves are.

He said:"When you see the sun lowering in the sky and then you see this beautiful pattern in the water of the sunlight bouncing off the water. That pattern is called a glitter path."

"The width of the glitter path is telling us how rough the water is. Where its narrow the waters calm and where it gets wider the waters a bit rougher."
