An investigation on the role of tarsal flexibility in insect walking by Tjuatja, Johan

“…Although there is a wealth of literature on various physical properties of insect leg, such as strength and inner structure, there seems to be a lack of knowledge on the functions or roles of the individual leg segments, such as the tarsus. While the tarsus has been long known to be flexible, there has currently been no study that explains what the purpose of this flexibility is in insect leg. …”
