Scale (insect anatomy) and enable the insect to escape. (Forsyth 1992:12) Thomas Eisner tested spiderwebs' effectiveness by dropping various insects onto the webs. Moths were consistently able to escape, and all left impact spots where scales had stuck to the web. Eisner found these spots to be common. (Eisner 2003:218-220) Scales also help increase the lift to drag ratio in gliding flight. Successive close-ups of the scales of a Peacock wing Scale (insect anatomy) The presence of scales on the wings of Lepidoptera, comprising moths and butterflies, characterises this order of insects. The name is derived from Ancient Greek λεπίδος (scale) and πτερόν
Comma category with domain formula_65" in. An object of formula_78 is called a "morphism from formula_4 to formula_80" or a "formula_4-costructured arrow with codomain formula_80" in. Another special case occurs when both formula_4 and formula_5 are functors with domain 1. If formula_85 and formula_86, then the comma category formula_6, written formula_88, is the discrete category whose objects are morphisms from formula_8 to formula_10. An inserter category is a (non-full) subcategory of the comma category where formula_91 and formula_92 are required. The comma category can also be seen as the inserter of formula_93 and formula_94, where formula_95 and formula_96 are the two projection
