Flying insects

Researcher Joel Héras has built a hat equipped with a variety of machines: camcorders, pointers, infrared lights, flash lights to see how insects fly.

Flying hard (1)

Unable to take off without a launcher or a stimulating heat, the ladybug flew so hard with the lower wings. With 50 flaps in a second, it flies very slowly, and it is not always possible to avoid obstacles.

Ugly but effective (2)

With flat legs, this fly is very slow. But its flight is effective thanks to the balance of 'pendulum pairs'.

Devastating wandering (3)

Flies anthophore fat buzzing flying with four small wings. With over 200 beats per second, it can fly everywhere for 15 minutes.

Bad flight (4)

The bug flew very slowly, weakly and inaccurately, staggering when landing.

Flying there . reason (5)

The left-wing beetle likes to live on the ground rather than wind riding on the clouds! It just flies to find a mate or food.

Perfect response (6)

This bee is about to answer. A few seconds before it smashed its wings at a rate of 250 times per second and moved at a speed of 40km / hour.

'Helicopter' (7)

It flies vertically and slowly rises about 10m from the ground. Take off and landing is not very accurate, but every day you can go . 100km!

Loud box (8)

Flying bees are very bad. The first pair of metamorphosis has turned into a hard shell, so when it smashes its wings, it is very loud! It staggered and easily fell to the ground.

Jump or fly? (9)

Oedipode cricket is a bad type of pilot. It launches in the air and then spreads its wings, so it cannot fly more than 10m.

Long flying (10)

Despite the rough appearance, this skin bug flies very well. If you fly slowly, beat your wings 50 times a second, at a speed of 10 km / hour it can fly for an hour.

Unexpected surprise (11)

Flying is not easy with two asynchronous wings, heavy belly and very long legs. However, the mantis can still escape the enemy's mouth in a narrow distance to fly dozens of meters away.
