_d._ The wings and their structure
The insects differ from all other animals except birds in possessing
wings, and as we at the outset have claimed, it is evidently owing to
them that insects are numerically so superior to any other class of
animals, since their power of flight enables them to live in the air out
of reach of many of their enemies, the greatest destruction to insect
life occurring in the wingless larval and pupal stages.
