Schematic drawings illustrating several aspects in longhorn beetle attachment. a. Directions of shearing (arrows) on the ventral tarsus, according to the alignment of adhesive setae (see Fig. 2 for comparison). t1–t5, tarsomeres; cl, claw. b. Comparison of body dimension and posture between longhorn, ladybird, and leaf beetles grasping a rod-shaped substrate. c–e. The longhorn beetle body posture on a flat and a rod-shaped substrate having different diameter. Blue lines and letters indicate the angles between leg segments
