Abstract:

Quantitative measurements of property of electric charge on insects,Clania variegata and other common species,were conducted.Fractal property of insects electric charge was drawn from analysis of the relationship between amount of electric charge carried by still insects and those interaction with environment.The charge produced from walking on different substrates and from wing vibration by male of Clania variegata was measured.The causes and principles of the charge carried by insects were also discussed.

Key words: Insect, Electric charge, Fractal property, Affecting factor
