Insects have two pairs of wings, while bats and birds each have one pair. Insect wings lack bones, but bird and bat wings have them. Butterfly wings are covered in scales, bird wings in feathers, and bat wings with bare skin. All of these organisms have adapted to life in the air and in doing so have evolved wings.
