 Howdy bug lovers! Last episode, we started our discussion of insect locomotion by getting up close and personal with insect legs. Today, we'll be a little more airborne as we discuss insect wings. Insects are the only invertebrates with the power of flight and there have long been questions about the origin of insect wings in the evolutionary record. Tune in to hear about the multiple theories on the origin of wings, how wings help with insect identification, and just how bugs take flight. Show noteshttps://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/244541v1 https://news.uchicago.edu/story/how-insect-wings-evolved-legs-ancestral-crustacean  https://www.the-scientist.com/notebook/unearthing-the-evolutionary-origins-of-insect-wings-69845 https://ag.arizona.edu/classes/ento596c/topic/session4.html https://www.amentsoc.org/insects/fact-files/wings.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect_winghttps://cronodon.com/BioTech/Insect_locomotion.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect_flight Quest
