Table 1. The six elementary modes of fly locomotor behavior.

No Rotation Rotation
Progression on Straight path Fixed-front-on-Straight-path (‘A’) Rotation-on-Straight-Path (‘B’)
Progression on Curved path Fixated-Front-on-Curved-Path (‘C’) Rotation-on-Curved-Path (‘D’)
No progression Lingering (‘L’) Rotation-in-place (‘R’)

The modes reflect the dynamics of the angular interval between the animal's direction of progression and the direction it faces.
