Abstract
A flow visualization is conducted to investigate a flight characteristics of a Coleoptera and an effect of flapping elytra was considered in this study. Also the movements of outer wing(elytra) and inner wing is analyzed using High Speed Camera. As a result of this experiment, in case of flapping insect, three mechanisms to generate lift is confirmed. A small movement of outer wing(elytra) is confirmed and the effect of outer wing(elytra) is estimated.
