They take off at twilight and just before dawn, moving through the dark skies with maneuvers that would make fighter pilots envious. Dipping and diving through the air, they seek out food and mates ...

The flight navigation strategy of moths can be used to develop programs that help drones to navigate unfamiliar environments, report researchers. The flight navigation strategy of moths can be used to ...

Moths tend to zig when we think they’re going to zag. To the naked eye the navigation habits of a moth can appear dizzying, but a team of researchers say these insects can help improve the flight ...

Researchers have developed methods for electronically manipulating the flight muscles of moths and for monitoring the electrical signals moths use to control those muscles. The work from North ...

New research using high-speed digital imaging shows that, at least for some insects, wings that flex and deform, something like what happens to a heavy beach towel when you snap it to get rid of the ...

The flight navigation strategy of moths can be used to develop programs that help drones to navigate unfamiliar environments, report Ioannis Paschalidis at Boston University, Thomas Daniel at ...

Moths rely on more than just their wings to fly properly. They also depend on their antennae to act as gyroscope-like sensors tokeep themselves upright while soaring aloft, according to new research.

October 2006 marks the 75th anniversary of the remarkable Tiger Moth's first flight. Thousands of pilots won their wings in this fantastic machine and it's a mark of the Tiger Moth's excellent design ...

Most people think of moths as small insects fluttering across porch lights, but some species greatly challenge that image.

Moth antennae contain gyroscope-like sensors to help them control their course through the air, scientists say. Up until now, the insects' wobble-free flight remained a mystery - especially because ...

It turns out moths are far better at video games than we might have thought. When navigating through a virtual forest, hawkmoths determine their route ahead of time depending on how much of the forest ...
