Experimental set-up. An open test section; a closed return wind tunnel was used. The beam from the 1 J pulse laser system was guided via mirrors to a diverging lens followed by a collimating lens and a rectangular aperture which created an illuminated volume that was back-reflected by a large planar mirror on the opposite side of the test section. The locusts were tethered on a sting that allowed for adjustment of body angle and were positioned just in front of the illuminated volume. Eight high-sensitivity cameras captured the volume from below. Photographs of the apparatus are available in the electronic supplementary material, figure S1. (Online version in colour.)
