    JEFFREY LOIS MAESTRADO
    This document discusses the structure and function of insect wings. It describes how insect wings are found on the mesothorax and metathorax segments and enable flight. The wings contain longitudinal veins that form patterns used to identify insect families. Wing structure can vary between sexes, morphs, and life stages. The document then outlines learning objectives and procedures for a laboratory activity identifying the parts of insect wings, including veins like the costa, radius, and cubitus. Diagrams and descriptions of typical wing veins and cross veins are provided.

    Insects’ Wings
    Activity #8

    I. Introduction:

    Insect wings are adult outgrowths of the insect exoskeleton that enable insects to fly. They are found on the
    second and third thoracic segments (the mesothorax and metathorax), and the two pairs are often referred to as
    the forewings and hindwings, respectively, though a few insects lack hindwings, even rudiments. The wings are
    strengthened by a number of longitudinal veins, which often have cross-connections that form closed "cells" in the
    membrane (extreme examples include the dragonflies and lacewings). The patterns resulting from the fusion and cross-
    connection of the wing veins are often diagnostic for different evolutionary lineages and can be used for identification to
    the family or even genus level in many orders of insects.
    The wings are present in only one sex (often the male) in some groups such as velvet ants and Strepsiptera, or
    are selectively lost in "workers" of social insects such as ants and termites. Rarely, the female is winged but the male
    not, as in fig wasps. In some cases, wings are produced only at particular times in the life cycle, such as in the dispersal
    phase of aphids. Wing structure and colouration often vary with morphs, such as in the aphids, migratory phases
    of locusts and polymorphic butterflies. At rest, the wings may be held flat, or folded a number of times along specific
    patterns; most typically, it is the hindwings which are folded, but in a few groups such as the vespid wasps, it is the
    forewings.

    II. Learning Objectives:

    At the end of laboratory period, you should be able to:


    1. Describe and discuss the parts of insect wings;
    2. Pinpoint the parts of insects’ wings.

    III. Materials:

    Resource Units, Pencil, Bond Paper, Ballpen, internet sources (optional)

    IV. Procedures:

    1. Scan your resource units or browse in the internet on the features of insects’ wings.
    2. Read and understand the unique or specific characteristics, details and all other information based on your
    readings from your resource units and/or browsing in the internet sources that would describe and help you
    answering in the discussions below.
    3. Note the different parts insect wings based on the figure below. Can you name what are these and their
    respective functions?
    4. Discuss some question/s based on your understanding.
