Database S1: Take-off kinematics

Morphology and take-off kinematics for all filmed mosquitoes. The database consists of three sets: (1) the body position and orientation throughout the complete take-off including the push-off phase and the aerial phase for all measured mosquitoes (n=63, results shown in Fig 2), (2) the body and wingbeat kinematics during the aerial phase for all wing-tracked mosquitoes (n=58, results shown in Fig 3), and (3) take-off kinematics of the sub-set of 16 mosquitoes whereby the full body and wing where tracked throughout the complete take-off (n=16, results shown in Fig 4). The body kinematics consists of the body position vector and orientation quaternion output from the tracker, and the Kalman filtered body position, velocity, acceleration and orientation. The wingbeat kinematics consists of the pre-Kalman filtered orientation quaternion of the left and right wing, and the post-Kalman filtered orientation quaternion and Euler angles (stroke, deviation and wing rotation angle) of the left and right wing.
