Figure 2.

Schematic of one radial slice of the mosquito antenna and its support structure (not to scale). Here, the flagellum is modelled by a rigid rod (OA) of length L that is rigidly attached at O to a rigid prong (BC) of total length 2aN. At regular intervals along the prong, 2N threads (colour coded for later visualization purposes) are attached with regular separation a. The external sound field is modelled as an applied moment Ms.
