@wonderofscience I would be interested in the folding back process again.

@wonderofscience mesmerizing
Are you Team Asterix, Team Obelix, or Team Idefix?Or ... Team Ceasar?
@wonderofscience Got to love how it does them one at a time!
@wonderofscience How impressive, especially that this process takes place in less than 100 milliseconds. - Nature is full of wonders.
@wonderofscience Beautiful
@wonderofscience the folding of beetle wings fascinates me. I assume it's done by pumping fluids in and out of vascular canals in the wings, but the deployment part is easy. Engineering the wings so that they will fit precisely under the (much smaller) wing cases strikes me as a much harder problem. And yet all the species of beetle, with all their differently shaped wing cases, do it apparently reliably. Evolution is astonishing!
