From clumsy, heavy cockroach-like creatures that fly slowly from twig to twig, to flies and wasps with highly elaborate flight modes, this book describes the fascinating story of insect flight evolution. Written by a leading authority on the subject, the book draws together the diverse strands of fossil evidence, structure, phylogeny, aerodynamics, and behavior to examine both the details and the overall progression of insect flight evolution.
