Amoeba-Size Beetle Has a Novel Method of Flying!


Stephen W. Carmichael Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN 55905 carmichael.stephen@mayo.edu


Te morphology and mechanics of flight in insects in the millimeter


range, such as fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster is 2–3 mm) and mosquitos (about 4 mm), have been well-studied. In contrast, the flight of tinier insects has remained a mystery. Tis recently changed with an elegant study by an international group lead by Sergey Farisenkov, Dmitry Kolomenskiy, and Alexey Polilov [1]. Tey studied the flight of the miniature featherwing beetle Paratuposa placentis. Specimens were located on fungi in the Joint Russian-Vietnamese Tropi-


cal Research and Technological Center. Farisenkov et al. constructed a mor- phological model based on data gained from light, confocal, and scanning electron microscopy. Te beetles were less than half a millimeter in length, which is similar to the size of some unicellular organisms such as Amoeba proteus. Te length of each of the two wings was about the same as the body length. Te wings consist of a stalk (petiole) and a structure resembling a bristle, which has a narrow wing blade with a fringe of several setae covered with secondary outgrowths (Figure 1).
