Tiny amphibious insects use tripod gait for seamless transition across land, water, and duckweed

This study analyzes the locomotion of Microvelia insects across different surfaces, finding they maintain consistent leg movements on duckweed and adjust stride length based on surface texture, achieving higher speeds on water.

Limb loss and specialized leg dynamics in tiny water-walking insects

This study examines how Microvelia insects adapt to tarsal loss by altering their leg dynamics and gait during water walking.
