Spotted lanternfly nymphs eject honeydew via capillary rectification while adults use elastic compression and catapult release, switching mechanics across development to clear fluid under identical outlet capillary constraints.
Escaping blood-fed malaria mosquitoes minimize tactile detection without compromising on take-off speed

A developmental switch from capillary rectification to elastic catapult enables honeydew ejection in the spotted lanternfly
