Insects are incredibly diverse and have mastered the art of flying through evolution. Unlike other flying animals whose wings evolved from legs, insects have developed unique wing structures directly connected to their bodies by complex joints known as wing hinges. These hinges transform tiny muscle movements into the powerful wing flaps that enable flight.
