Palaeodictyoptera do not have six wings, the extra appendages are known as prothoracic paranotal lobes and are basically chitinous plates which may have been used by these prehistoric insects to stabilise flight profiles.

All insects have six legs.

In the general scheme of an insect's body there are six legs arranged in three pairs on the insect's thorax, two on each segment.

Some insect parts, such as the mouthparts (mandibles, maxillae and labrum) and other parts such as the cerci, really are modified legs, but they are not used for walking, don't look like legs and ar not normally regarded as legs. (The wings certainly are not legs and never were!)

Some butterflies have their front pair of legs so much reduced that for practical purposes one could say that they have only four legs.

Caterpillars (the larvae of moths and the larvae of sawflies) have rows of fleshy "prolegs" along their bellies, anything from 8 pairs in sawflies and five pairs in most moths and butterflies, down to two pairs in some inchworms.

Every insect has six legs, all but three or so groups have wings, and I really need more than that pointy nose. :P Maybe you mean a small moth, as they can have that upturned face, or a mecopteran with an elongated snout?

Why does a bird flying with outstretched wings seems to glide to the ground while a bird with its wings tucked in tightly nose dives to the ground?

Birds with their wings streched out have more surface area so they catch the air, but birds with their wing tucked into them have no traction and no air catches them.


Why are short nose sturgeons important?

Shortnose sturgeons are among the oldest species of fish in existence. They are important because they keep things like snails, worms, and insect larvae populations in check.


Do chickens really have fingers?

Chicken fingers are cuts of breast meat approximately three inches long. Chickens have wings and toes, but no fingers. They used to, but some fella named Sanders took em' all and made a fortune selling them. Even bought an honorary military title with the earnings. Hens now a days just come with wings but they are getting rarer now since Sanders ran outta fingers and started selling wings, when they run out watch for chicken toes and a product called "the parsons nose" soon to be marketed ( the parsons nose is the south end of a north bound chicken) "wink."
