TuragaLab's flybody project (765 GitHub stars) offers an anatomically detailed MuJoCo body model of Drosophila, built by Google DeepMind and HHMI Janelia for biophysics simulation and embodied sensorimotor RL, with walk-imitation task environments, a paper, and inclusion in MuJoCo Menagerie. The post also points to EPFL's NeuroMechFly v2.
