Your Gravity Bug isn’t the only one
who uses suction cups. Some frogs,
bats, and bugs also use suction cups
to get around. Octopuses too are
famous for their suckers. They have
two rows of suction cups on each of
their eight arms, giving them
hundreds in total. With these they
can move along smooth surfaces or
grab food.
You have probably seen insects like
Flies and spiders effortlessly climb up walls
or walk on the ceiling. Unlike the gravity
bug, they do not use suction cups, but rather
adhesive forces. This physical phenomenon
occurs between two surfaces, such as a pane
of glass and a fly’s foot. Tiny hairs on the
bottoms of insects’ FEET produce a substance
of sugars and oils that acts like glue.
Geckos, small lizards FOUND MAINLY IN WARMER
CLIMATES, get their extraordinary climbing
ability from elastic HAIRS ON THEIR FEET THAT
ARE SHAPED LIKE tiny SPATULAS. Gecko feet have
inspired SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS TO DESIGN
MORE ADVANCED ADHESIVES.
