The Impressive Aerial Maneuvers of the Pea Aphid
Wednesday, February 6, 2013
You might not think much about pea aphids, but it turns out they've got skills enough to get aerospace engineers excited. A report in the February 4th Current Biology, a Cell Press publication, shows that the insects can free fall from the plants they feed on and -- within a fraction of a second -- land on their feet every time. Oftentimes, the falling aphids manage to cling to a lower part of the plant by their sticky feet on the way down, avoiding the dangerous ground altogether.
