>>9184209>>9184181Fun Beetle fact: apparently for most beetles, their elytra serve not only as hard protective wing covers for when their wings are folded up, but also interact with the air turbulence of their wing flaps to help them fly better.
Also bubble bees wings would only be too small to lift their weight if the flew like a fixed-wing airplane. The math actually checks out perfectly well for the weird viscosity exploiting side-to-side ornithopter method of lift they actually use. The Bee movie is full of shit.
