 note = {This study shows that characteristic modes, such as the figure-eight mode, can be created in the path of the wing tip, which is caused by the fluid-structure interaction, using a flapping model wing with two lumped flexibilities describing the elevation motion as well as the pitching motion. A direct numerical simulation based on the three-dimensional finite element method for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analyzes the behaviors of the model wing, the surrounding air, and their interaction, where the dynamic similarity law for the FSI is used to incorporate actual insect data, and the parallel computation algorithm is used to perform the systematic parametric study. Characteristic modes, such as the figure-eight mode, are observed in the path of the wing tip from the elevation motion of the simulated wing. This motion is considered as the forced vibration caused by the interaction with the surrounding fluid excited by the flapping of the wing. Therefore, this motion can be modulated by the flexibility to change the natural frequency, which can be controlled by the muscles at the base of the wing in the actual insect. The present simulation shows that the selection between these modes in the path of the wing tip depends on the ratio between the natural frequency of the elevation motion and the flapping frequency. In the case of the figure eight, the upward elevation motion of the wing acts on the leading-edge vortex (LEV) so as to keep its momentum upon stroke reversal. Therefore, this LEV can remain in the wake of the wing after stroke reversal and enhance the next LEV. Because of this effect, the lift increases significantly as the mode of the wing tip path shifts to the figure-eight mode. This understanding will contribute to a developed field of bioinspired micro air vehicles; i.e., it will reduce the complexity of electromechanical devices that prescribe entire motions of their wings.},
