Dragon fly wing

Bcrazy · Dec 4, 2008

I know this is not bees but I have been sorting my photo's out and getting rid of a lot of rubbish. I came across the wing tip of a dragon fly and it immediately struck me as a most intricate pattern. Its marvelous.

Amazing! Thank you for posting these - they really are like Stained Glass Windows- maybe thats where the idea came from?

Hi Hivemaker,

I do not know what the makeup of the wings are I'll look it up and come back to you because I'd like to know also.

And I wonder why that one panel is darker than the rest?

To add to my previous reply I have tried Anatomy of a Dragon fly, Wing Venation of Dragon flies, and plain Dragonfly.

Plenty about the veins and the fore and rear wing but nothing of the makeup of the wing its self.
