Predator detection and evasion by flying insects.
Echolocating bats detect prey using ultrasonic pulses, and many nocturnally flying insects effectively detect and evade these predators through sensitive ultrasonic hearing. Many eared insects can use the intensity of the predator-generated ultrasound and the stereotyped progression of bat echolocation pulse rate to assess risk level. Effective responses can vary from gentle turns away from the...
متن کاملVision in flying insects.
Vision guides flight behaviour in numerous insects. Despite their small brain, insects easily outperform current man-made autonomous vehicles in many respects. Examples are the virtuosic chasing manoeuvres male flies perform as part of their mating behaviour and the ability of bees to assess, on the basis of visual motion cues, the distance travelled in a novel environment. Analyses at both the...
متن کاملFlying Insects and Robots
Insects use memorised visual representations to find their way back to places of interest, like food sources and nests. They acquire these visual memories during systematic learning flights or walks on their first departure and update them whenever approaches to the goal have been difficult. The fact that small insects are so good at localisation tasks with apparent ease has attracted the atten...

متن کاملRaindrops push and splash flying insects
In their daily lives, flying insects face a gauntlet of environmental challenges, from wind gusts to raindrop impacts. In this combined experimental and theoretical study, we use high-speed videography to film raindrop collisions upon both flying insects and dynamically scaled spherical mimics. We identify three outcomes of the collision based upon the insect’s mass and characteristic size: dro...
