Scaled up it flies pretty fast

I realize this was not what the entomologist who asserted "400 yards/second" meant. Interesting how easily a physicist could debunk the claims of an expert on insects using purely physical/chemical arguments. I recall reading the 800 MPH claim as fact in probably some popular book -- the debunking is so much less interesting than the claim itself. Be skeptical of wild claims. 50.230.251.244 (talk) 05:06, 17 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
