Halteres: History, Morphology & Dynamics

Halteres (/hælˈtɪəriːz/; singular halter or haltere) (from Ancient Greek: ἁλτῆρες, hand-held weights to give an impetus in leaping) are a pair of small club-shaped organs on the body of some flying insects that provide information about body rotations during flight. They are present on insects belonging to two orders, Diptera and Strepsiptera. In…
