Novel flight style and light wings boost flight performance of tiny beetles
Flight speed is positively correlated with body size in animals(1). However, miniature featherwing beetles can fly at speeds and accelerations of insects three times their size(2). Here we show that this performance results from a reduced wing mass and a previously unknown type of wing-motion cycle....
