Only when the female stops and remains motionless can the male successfully copulate with her.

Oedipoda caerulescens frequents dry areas with low and open vegetation: dunes, heathlands, grasslands on sand and sunlit limestone rocks. Many stations correspond to land recently used for human activities, such as coal spoil heaps, quarries and pits, the ballast of railway tracks, etc. It is exclusively a terrestrial insect, and its cryptic coloration often matches its substrate. It presses itself to the ground and remains motionless, and jumps only at the very close approach of danger.

Mauling is a behaviour observed in Dolichovespula where one member will chew another individual that remains motionless throughout the act. Increased mauling behaviour was thought to be associated with a dominance hierarchy, where the more dominant individuals would maul the relatively inferior individuals and demand food. This theory was contested later and requires additional research in order to validate the initial claim. Workers marked by an unusual scent that returned to the colony were mauled as well.

On Short Take-Off But Arrested Recovery aircraft carriers (STOBAR), conventional aircraft are launched using a ski-jump. The pilot increases the aircraft's thrust by switching on the afterburners, while holding the plane by braking. Two panels are raised from the deck of the aircraft carrier in front of the aircraft's main landing gear, ensuring the plane remains motionless. Upon command, the pilot releases the brake; the panels from the deck drop back into their slots; and the aircraft rapidly taxis forward under maximum thrust.

Scientists and military researchers attempt to examine both the robot and the ship.

Instead, the bombardier used the sighting telescope to locate the target long in advance of the drop point. A separate section of the calculator used the inputs for altitude and airspeed to determine the angular velocity of the target, the speed at which it would be seen drifting backward due to the forward motion of the aircraft. The output of this calculator drove a rotating prism at that angular speed in order to keep the target centered in the telescope. In a properly adjusted Norden, the target remains motionless in the sights.

239 The faun remains motionless as the first six nymphs enter, but then he follows the progress of the last nymph with his eyes.

As it falls back, the cycle continues in the opposite direction. This apparatus was illustrated by Jean- Antoine Nollet in Leçons de physique expérimentale (Paris, 1743-1748).Nollet, Jean-Antoine Leçons de physique expérimentale (Paris, 1743-1748) In his description, Nollet claims to have merely altered and developed a model previously used by Edme Mariotte.

P. pileus in Gullmarn fjord, Sweden Pleurobrachia pileus is a predator and feeds on such actively swimming prey as gammarid amphipods, crab zoeal larvae, barnacle cyprid larvae and calanoid copepods. Over much of its range it co-exists with another species of comb jelly, Bolinopsis infundibulum. The two species are found not to compete for food as their feeding habits differ. P. pileus remains motionless while it snares larger prey with its long tentacles, whereas B. infundibulum draws in a feeding current of water and filters out the smaller, more weakly swimming, tiny zooplankton.

American bittern attempting to hide American bittern hiding in tall grass, Wakulla Springs State Park American bittern, Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge The American bittern is a solitary bird and usually keeps itself well-hidden and is difficult to observe. It usually hunts by walking stealthily in shallow water and among the vegetation, stalking its prey, but sometimes it stands still in ambush. If it senses that it has been seen, it remains motionless, with its bill pointed upward, its cryptic coloration causing it to blend into the surrounding foliage. It is mainly nocturnal and is most active at dusk.

If the male touches the female's wings during this display, the female responds by rapidly scissoring them back and forth. This courtship takes approximately 30–40 minutes, after which copulation finally occurs (unless the female flees at any point during the dance, in which case the courtship fails). Alternatively, another male may intervene to compete for the female's attention, which may result in a fight between the two males. The female's signal to the male that she accepts him is subtle and still not understood; unless she flies away, she remains motionless throughout most of the courtship other than the occasional movements of her wings.

In the days that follow, Gnut remains motionless, while laboratories and a museum are built around it and the ship.

Head, in profile thumb The appearance of the mata mata's shell resembles a piece of bark, and its head resembles fallen leaves. As it remains motionless in the water, its skin flaps enable it to blend into the surrounding vegetation until a fish comes close. The mata mata thrusts out its head and opens its large mouth as wide as possible, creating a low-pressure vacuum that sucks the prey into its mouth, known as suction feeding. The mata mata snaps its mouth shut, the water is slowly expelled, and the fish is swallowed whole; the mata mata cannot chew due to the way its mouth is constructed.

In her works, Abramović affirms her identity through the perspective of others, however, more importantly by changing the roles of each player, the identity and nature of humanity at large is unraveled and showcased. By doing so, the individual experience morphs into a collective one and creates a powerful message. Abramović's art also represents the objectification of the female body, as she remains motionless and allows spectators to do as they please with her body; the audience pushes the limits of what one would consider acceptable.
