Using pose estimation and 3D rendered models to study leg-mediated self-righting by lanternflies

This paper quantifies and models leg movements during terrestrial self-righting in lanternfly nymphs using 3D pose tracking and physical models.

Putting a new spin on insect jumping performance using 3D modeling and computer simulations of spotted lanternfly nymphs

This paper uses high-speed video and 3D modeling to analyze the jumping and landing mechanics of spotted lanternfly nymphs, showing they control orientation via posture and drag torques for successful landings.

Sizing up spotted lanternfly nymphs for instar determination and growth allometry

This study measures body mass and length of spotted lanternfly nymphs across instars and finds distinct clusters for first three instars, variable allometry, and stage-specific adhesion traits.

Many ways to stick the landing: novel righting strategies allow spotted lanternfly nymphs to land on diverse substrates

This study identifies novel righting strategies in spotted lanternfly nymphs that enable upright landings on diverse substrates through post-impact body rotations and adhesion.
