FLIGHT ORIENTATION IN A COREID SQUASH BUG (HETEROPTERA)1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Abstract
Flight orientation about the yaw axis (induced by rotation of a striped bowl) in the squash bug, Anoplecnimes curvipes (Heteroptera), is brought about by differential changes in wing-stroke amplitudes and wing-stroke planes of the two sides. The metathoracic leg of the inner side in a turn is displaced in the transverse plane while the contra-lateral leg remains in the normal flight posture. The probable mode of control of the two wing parameters effecting yaw is discussed.
