The effects of body shape on body aerodynamics as predicted by computational fluid dynamics simulations. A Diagram of the forces applying upon the modelled flying male leaf insect. Lift to drag ratio (B), drag (C) and lift (D) coefficients, drag (E, solid) and lift (E, dashed) forces relative to body weight as a function of model aspect ratio as estimated from the CFD simulations. Colors correspond to different body sizes relative to the original model
