Today I had an opportunity to watch closely how butterflies flap their wings to generate thrust as they sort through flowers to find nutritious nectar.

You have to be impressed with the mechanics of beetle flight. Big membranous wings that fold under hard, protective elytra. It does make them a little slow and vulnerable in flight, but it does mean they have some protection on the ground.

The first insect discovered around 400 million years ago may have been the “Rhyniognatha hirsti” (Insect Flight, PBS Eons). Discover this insect on PBS Eons: cutt.ly/InsectFlight
