Flight dynamics in forward flights of cabbage white butterfly

We conducted measurements of a butterfly’s motion in forward flight and numerical simulations using a computational model reflecting its motion. We measured the motion of a cabbage white butterfly (Pieris rapae), and then we constructed a computational model composed of a thorax, an abdomen, and fou...
