In addition, large insects such as dragonfly are composed of a thick primary wing vein and a thin secondary wing vein running between them, and their feathers are divided into hundreds or thousands.

So often we associate our gardens with color, scent and design, but it is also a created habitat for many animals, insects ...

Insect wings now are pretty dead. But maybe this remarkable dragonfly can give us an insight into how they first took shape, and tell us more about their modern appearance in the meantime.

“When the average person thinks about an insect wing, they think about a dragonfly — these two pairs of really pretty, long wings,” he said. “But it’s different in different lineages.

The insect wings are composed of nerves and membranes, and their cross-section shapes consist of vertices (nerves) and line segments (membranes). The geometry of the shape appears as a connection ...

Destin, our friend over at Smarter Every Day, has expanded our brains once again. Did you know that dragonfly wings work differently than nearly every other insect, utilizing a direct flight ...

Called the Dragonfly Telephoto Array, it has proved highly effective at finding new low-light galaxies — specifically seven dwarf galaxies in the field of a large spiral galaxy known as M101.
