I was last week years old when I learned that insect wing veins have specific labels and can be used to trace evolutionary relationships. It had just…not really crossed my mind before.

I love insects! This brought me to your page. Then I saw the little moth... yay bugs! And nerds! I'm an amateur entomologist, myself.

Cool! That's great. I don't have a ton of insect-specific knowledge but I find them fascinating.
