Abstract
1. Stroboscopic photographs of tethered rhinoceros beetles executing yawing rotations show that yaw is achieved chiefly by a unilateral increase in amplitude of the wing stroke.
2. This change in amplitude is brought about by an increase in the frequency of the nervous input to all the fibrillar flight muscles of the appropriate side.
