Design of attachment devices in insects varies enormously in relation to different functional loads. Many systems, located on different parts of the body, involve surfaces with particular frictional properties. Such systems evolved to attach parts of the body to each other, or to attach an insect to the substratum by providing fast and reversible attachment/detachment. Among these systems, there are some that deal with predefined surfaces, and others, in which one surface remains unpredictable. The first type of system occurs, for example, in wing-locking devices and head-arresting systems and is called probabilistic fasteners. The second type is mainly represented by insect attachment pads of two alternative designs: hairy and smooth. The relationship between surface patterns and/or mechanical properties of materials of contact pairs results in two main working principles of the frictional devices: mechanical interlocking, or maximization of the contact area. We give an overview of the functional design of two main groups of friction-based attachment devices in insects: probabilistic fasteners and attachment pads.
昆虫附着装置的设计因不同的功能负载而有很大的差异。许多位于身体不同部位的系统涉及具有特殊摩擦特性的表面。这些系统的进化是为了将身体的各个部分相互连接，或者通过提供快速和可逆的附着/脱离来将昆虫附着到基质上。在这些系统中，有一些是针对预定表面的，而另一些则是其中一个表面是不可预测的。第一种系统例如发生在机翼锁定装置和头部捕捉系统中，被称为概率紧固件。第二种系统主要由两种替代设计的昆虫附着垫代表：多毛和光滑。接触对的表面图案和/或材料的机械性能之间的关系导致摩擦装置的两个主要工作原理：机械互锁或接触面积最大化。我们概述了基于摩擦的昆虫附着装置的两个主要组的功能设计：概率紧固件和附着垫。
