Check Out This Guy's Wings!

Edd S · 23rd of May 2008 (Fri)

I was out experimenting with my 55-250 IS and XSi today and took this picture. I didn't notice his wings until downloaded the pictures on my computer.

How can he fly with these?

Good capture

Think insect wings are "designed/evolved" with excess lift capabilities so when they get a bit ragged they can still fly.

Evolution is still design

As to who or what the 'designer' is.. Well, that's the big one
