Strongly Adhesive Tettigonia Orientalis Feet

The feet of the Tettigonia orientalis are powerfully adhesive, such that they can run on the bottom-side of a leaf. This is because the Tettigonia’s feet are relatively large, giving them a larger contact area, which provides more stability. Moreover, Tettigonia have a small bump on each foot that narrowly splits into two or three “toes.” These “toes” grab onto the uneven surfaces, allow them to walk nimbly on the bottom of a leaf.

Tettigonia foot anatomy can be applied to the structure of small machine parts, as well as in new MEMS (Micro-electromechanical Systems) design.
