Movie 2
Main flow features in the transition region (42% SHW) throughout multiple flapping cycles. The shed forewing LEV moves downstream below the down-stroking and above the up-stroking hindwing, while having minor effect on the hindwing leading edge aerodynamics. The hindwing LEV formation is delayed, as the hindwing moves through the downwash of the forewing
