DEPLOY THE BOYS

You really won’t ever appreciate how cool insect wings are until you’ve seen all this footage.

The ones with wing covers that completely open up are beetles, by the way, but the ones LIKE beetles whose protective cover remains in place are bugs. Bug is supposed to be a special term for just one insect group!

Mid-way through is an earwig’s wings, which is neither a beetle nor a bug, but does have very beetle-like wing cases.
