Note: These experimental results are arranged in order of wingbeat frequency with the lowest at top. In addition, because the insect is limited and adhered to a piece of polystyrene foam in the experiment, the wing beating may be affected and the typical value of wingbeat frequency of these species cannot be used as the reference frequency for comparisons.
