Insects in nature have outstanding flight skills, and the research on their flight kinematics and dynamics can provide inspiration for the design of flapping-wing aircraft. An experiment was designed to study the mechanism and reveal the dynamics when Otidognathus Davidis Fair (ODF) flies. In this paper, two flight parameters, including lift and thrust of ODF, were tested using the insect flight test system, while ODF was under constraint on plexiglass. Experimental results showed that frequency of the wing was about, and the maximum of lift and thrust can reach 95 mN and 300 mN, respectively. With the increase of the weight, both of the peak values of lift and thrust change very little. Furthermore, their tendencies are of the same.
