Insect wings are made of chitin, the same material from which their exoskeleton is made. Chitin is a polysaccharide which forms fibrous molecules in which hydrogen atoms bond to produce extra strength. The veins in the wing also give it extra support.

Insect wings are one of nature's lightest structures and contain no bones or muscles.
