A Dataset for Bombus lantschouensis Flight Action Analysis

Bombus lantschouensis is a kind of insect which takes flight as the main activity mode, and has strong flight ability. As a social insect, bumblebee is divided into three castes: male, queen and worker. Different castes have different social division and body structure, which may affect their flight. We selected five representative flight actions, and used high-speed cameras to shoot the specific flight actions of different castes of bumblebee, and then extracted the flight data such as Flapping amplitude, wingbeat frequency, flight speed and wing tip trajectory. These data are helpful to research the evolution of insects, the principle of insect flight and the development of insect bionic aircraft.
