Structure of insect wings  According to current dogma, the archedictyon contained 6-8 longitudinal veins. observed to roughly approximate tracheal development in juvenile O. Every longitudinal insect wing vein, however, can be identified using this nomenclature. Insect wings are adult outgrowths of the insect exoskeleton that enable insects to fly. The pattern of wing venation is important in classification of insects at almost all taxonomic levels. Wing venation has its own complex terminology The principal veins run more-or-less lengthwise on the wing--thus called longitudinal veins. Exopterygota - Includes insects whose wings develop externally as wing buds during the immature stage of the insects; adults would have fully developed wings. 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). Previous investigators mainly focused on the. Next (Winnebago). Defects in the micrometre thin membranes or veins may reduce the insect's Peer-reviewed. Anal veins (A1, A2, A3) -- unbranched veins behind the cubitus. One of the major longitudinal veins, situated in the rear half of the wing and usually with 2 or 3 branches: abbreviated to Cu. Previous (Winfield Scott Hancock). veinlet. Insect wings have rigid veins which support the wing in flight. Connecting them are a lesser number of cross-veins.

Some insect wings are iridescent under different angles of light with varying cuticle layer constructions. Exopterygota - Includes insects whose wings develop externally as wing buds during the immature stage of the insects; adults would have fully developed wings. The main longitudinal veins transmit fluid, oxygen, or sensory information, while the cross veins are rarely fluid-filled and serve various structural roles. 4. The pattern of wing venation is important in classification of insects at almost all taxonomic levels. Dipterous flies with similar patterns of longitudinal veins but very different wing sizes belonging to the Families. Any insect in which the wings develop inside the body of the early stages and in which there is a complete metamorphosis and pupal stage. These veins (and their branches) are named according to a system devised by John Comstock and George Needham -- the Comstock-Needham System. The microstructures of insect wings, membranes [8], veins [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16], and corrugation properties [17][18][19][20][21][22] are suitable for the design of MAV that required ability. 1a-c).

Some 'anomalies' of insect wing venation are as follows: Ephemeroptera possess both the MA and MP vein stems, Odonata possess the MA stem only, other insects possess only the MP veins. The main features in a wing are the series of longitudinal sectors, or principal veins. Vein simplifications over the course of evolution have happened either via fusion of veins or disappearance of particular veins (3-6), but the molecular mechanisms behind these simplifications remain unclear. wing and the disappearance in other insects of a series. Although widely used in entomological literature, the structure labeled vein There are several methods for discriminating a main-vein from a cross-vein. (mesothorax) and 3. Processes of specialization of the venation, where they have taken place, consist either in the cancelling of certain longitudinal veins or sections of them. 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 Odonata and Neuroptera). The terminology of the wing venations of insects is important for almost all insect´s taxa classification. Detailed view about insect venation and cross veins. In most cases, a characteristic network of veins runs throughout the wing tissue.

The first use of the word was for the foremost limbs of birds, but has been extended to include the wings of insects, bats. In evolution insect wing is in most case modified in reduction of veins. Insect wings are mostly membranous structures supported by a system of veins. This review uses the wing veins of dipteran insects as potential models for understanding the evolution of development and argues that further developmental evolutionary studies must be conducted within the context of a well-supported phylogeny of the organisms under study. Modeling insect wings is challenging due to the fact that these wings have complex structures composed of a network of veins, partly connected through hinges, with thin membranes spanned in between and their elastic-ity properties are still poorly understood. Vein simplifications over the course of evolution have happened either via fusion of veins or disappearance of particular veins (3-6), but the molecular mechanisms behind these simplifications remain unclear. Insect wings have rigid veins which support the wing in flight. Furthermore, the wings of insects have a number of longitudinal veins, which are cross-connected, while the wings of birds are covered with feathers. The veins of insect wings are characterized by a convex-concave placement, such as those seen in mayflies (i.e., concave is "down" and convex is "up" When at rest, the wings are held over the back in most insects, which may involve longitudinal folding of the wing membrane and sometimes also. 100 to 150 mm at the base, thinning towards the edge of the wing.
