Journal of Morphology, Volume 284, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023 In Insecta, a “female‐biased sexual size dimorphism” (SSD) is commonly predominant. We analyzed the musculature of the raptorial forelegs in five species with varying SSD, using high‐resolution microcomputed tomography. We were able to confirm the presence of 15 extrinsic and 15 intrinsic muscles, and discussed muscle functionality and possible ...
