“…2E-G). Resilin has previously been reported in the tarsi of several insect species (Gorb, 1996;Frazier et al, 1999;Federle et al, 2001;Niederegger and Gorb, 2003;Frantsevich and Gorb, 2004;Voigt et al, 2007;Michels et al, 2016). The specific protein is also a known component in the extensible alloscutal cuticle in I. ricinus females (Dillinger and Kesel, 2002;Andersen and Roepstorff, 2005).…”

“…These muscles may even cocontract to maintain body posture or to stabilize catalepsy. A similar function might be realized by the retractor unguis (Radnikow and BĂ€ssler, 1991) and its elastic cuticular counterparts (Frantsevich and Gorb, 2004;Frazier et al, 1999;Neff et al, 2000). These two components may work together to stabilize the posture of the claws and ensure a reliable grip for the animal.…”

“…Jiao et al, 2000;Perez Goodwyn et al, 2006;Vötsch et al, 2002) and cockroaches (e.g. Clemente and Federle, 2008;Frazier et al, 1999;Larsen et al, 1997). Studies of adhesive devices on animal legs have mainly focused on material properties, the generation of adhesive and frictional forces, or the role of adhesive fluids.…”

“…When animals replace muscles by mechanical elements, they can save energy, and make limbs more lightweight [20,21]. The insect's tarsus is a prime example of an efficient, lightweight structure [22]: the claw flexor muscle is located in the tibia and femur, far away from the foot tip. Moreover, the claw flexor muscle has no antagonist, and the claws return to their extended position by recoil of elastic cuticle that may contain resilin [23].…”
