They are actually quite different! An insects wings are a fixed shape and have an ecto-skeleton (like bones) in the outside and look very much like a leaf. Often there are two pairs together which can over-lap. A birds wing has the bones on the inside and they are hollow. The feathers spread open to increase the surface area and aid in giving "lift". There really aren't many similarities at all.
Birds and insects have several differences in the structure of their wings. This is because birds have more weight to support than insects.
Additionally, their evolution is different. Evolution works largely by modifying existing features. The wings of birds developed from the forelimbs of small two-legged dinosaurs analogous to our own arms of muscle and bone. The wings of insects are membranes of chitin, which is the main body covering of insects and their relatives.
well.. this isn't easy to explain but really it helps them guild check the wiki if this doesn't help.
It's the most efficient for flight, but there are many detail differences by species and flight mode.
All birds have wings. Although they are both animals, they are only very very distantly related to insects. Birds are vertebrates whereas insects are invertebrates.
No, since it is an Arachnid and not a Bird or an Insect.
Analogous structures are features of two different species that are similar in how the function, but the structure of the two features is different. The wings of an insect and the wings of a bird are analogous structures.
By opening their wings like a bird or insect of course. Obvious!!
Similar structures that have evolved independently are called homologous structures. An example would be the wings of a bird and the wings of an insect.
a bird has hollow bones and an incect has an exo skeleton on the outside of their body!
Insect wings are quite different from bat and bird wings in various ways. The insect wings are quite rigid and this makes them less efficient in flying when compared to birds and bats.
a flying insect such as a beetle or lepidopteran such as a moth or butterfly
the birds wing is hairy and the insects wing is delicate
The wings.
no,because caterpillar does not have wings and it is an insect.
Nope. Flies always have 2 wings, and some insects like silverfish have none. However even insects with 4 wings can get one torn off by a bird.
No they are not. Homologus structures are structures that originated from a common ancestor, they show similarity in anatomy and development even tho they may have different functions. For example the human arm and bird wing are homologus (pentadactyl limb).Bird and insect wings are ANALOGUS, which means they show similar function but show no similar structural relationship.
