| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
During molting, insects change their morphology briefly by spreading their folded precursors at once. In order to do so, we needed to "create a folded structure" that would have the correct shape when inflated, and the principle was the subject of our research; by the fourth year, we had pretty much figured out how to fold a beetle, so in the fifth year, we analyzed the folding of a horned owl with a more complex morphology. The basics were a combination of "rough folds" and "fine wrinkles," as is common with beetles, but they differed in that the cell sheets of the protoplasm contracted rapidly after they detached from the larval shell, and the process of contraction produced a rough shape. This is a new discovery in itself, and we will analyze it in more detail in the future.
