摘要：

At adult eclosion, the wings of the locust are expanded by blood pressure. The source of the pressure appears to be from within the wing since a wing cut from the locust will expand as quickly and completely as normal. It seems likely that the pressure is generated by the very quick stiffening of the expanded wing membrane. This phenomenon is not unique to the locust. © 1979.
