Kinetics of Elastic Recoil in the Wings of the cicada, Dundubia rufivena
Natural SciencesIn this paper, we quantitatively characterise the kinetics of elastic recoil in the wings attached to the cicada Dundubia rufivena. We use high‐speed videography to deduce the velocities of recoil motion in both bending (B) and torsion (T), in downstroke
