In Nature this week: Built for speed – the unique motion of its bristled wings powers this tiny beetle's rapid flight. Browse the full issue here:
. How fast an animal can fly is usually dictated by its size: the larger the animal, the faster it flies. But at just 395 micrometres big,bucks this trend by flying as fast as insects three times its size. In this week’s issue,reveal how it achieves such a feat.
The researchers generated 3D reconstructions of the structure and motion of the beetle’s wings. They found that the insect moves its light, bristled wings in a very broad figure-of-eight loop and that the overall amplitude of its wing strokes is increased. The team suggests that the adaptations could help to explain the evolutionary success of extremely small insects.
