The butterfly with the sensor attached
Researchers in Japan have built a tiny sensor that can measure the pressure differences on a butterfly's wing, helping to better understand the dynamics of insect flight. The team hopes to study the different pressures acting on the wing during take-off, something that has never been measured before. The work will help in building robotic insect-sized flyers or to develop artificial wings.
