A butterfly's fore- and hindwings act as one low aspect ratio wing. The variation in the feathering angle is not as large as that of other insects such as a dragonfly and a damselfly. A butterfly varies the lead-lag angle of the forewing and the angle between the thorax and the abdomen at take-off. This implies the possibility that the insect moves all

Publisher Summary Actively flying insects achieve the highest metabolic rates known, and they do so in the fraction of a second required to shift from quiescence to flight. This chapter focuses on the various adaptations that make possible the high metabolic rates necessary for flight. Flight depends on the biochemical and mechanical work done by the

Abstract In the evolution of the Oligoneoptera, the tendency towards improved flight predominated over the tendency to improve the locking of the folded wings. With the complete metamorphosis characteristic of these insects, the function of feeding is accomplished by a poorly mobile larva, while winged imagos retain the functions of the ...
