Gravity and active acceleration limit the ability of killer flies (Coenosia attenuata) to steer towards prey when attacking from above
Insects that predate aerially usually contrast prey against the sky and attack upwards. However, killer flies (Coenosia attenuata) can attack prey flying below them, performing what we term ‘aerial dives'. During these dives, killer flies accelerate up to 36 m s(−2). Although the trajectories o...
