Figure 3.
(a–c) Colour-coded pressure fields in dB SPL of the first harmonic (wing beat frequency) around a stationary humming blowfly (N = 3, n = 15). (a) Vertical symmetry plane of the fly (x–z-plane). (b,c) Pressure field in the horizontal planes (b) 10 mm and (c) 50 mm below the fly's thorax. (a′–c′) Same for the second harmonic (double wing beat frequency) (N = 3, n = 15). (a′) Vertical symmetry plane of the fly (x–z-plane). (b′,c′) Pressure field in the horizontal planes (b′) 10 mm and (c′) 50 mm below the fly's thorax.
