Crucial role of framework with cytoskeletal actin filaments for shaping microstructure of footpad setae in the ladybird beetle, Harmonia axyridis

Insects that can walk on smooth surfaces have specialized structures, footpads, on their legs. Footpads play an important role in adhesion to the substrate surface. Although the morphology and function of footpads have been studied, the mechanism of their formation is still elusive. In the ladybird...
