Your brother is almost right, however. Most insects do have wings. Fleas , lice, silverfish , and firebrats are the only truly wingless insect groups that most of us are familiar with.
You can easily see both pairs of clear wings on wasps, bees, ants, and termites. Share Alamy images with your team and customers. Current lightbox. Live chat. Narrow your search:.

Many barkflies or psocids are wingless as are some stoneflies - in New Zealand this habit has been linked to living in windy places above the treeline 1. Some species in the flies and moths have adopted flightlessness Some insects have evolved winglessness in part of the life cycle as in the subterranean ants and termites where wings are a nuisance and only used in reproductive castes temporarily for dispersion.
In some moths and wasps, the females are wingless and the males are winged. Until quite reecently three wingless arthropod groups were include as primitive members of the Insecta, largely because they have 6 legs. These are the springtails and the Diplura and Protura. These three are collectively grouped in the Entognatha reflecting the fact they have their mouth parts internally in contrast to the external mouthparts of insects.
We now know they have independently adopted the six-legged habit. With the removal of the entognaths, this subclass of insects now has only two living orders, the Archaeognatha and the Zygentoma , which are quite similar in appearance.
Archaeognatha These are commonly called the jumping-bristletails They are small insects with long arched bodies and three tail-like structures at the end of the abdomen with the central one much longer than those at the sides. They can run fast and jump out of harm's way. They have well developed compound eyes which meet in the midline and long whip-like antennae. Langmead, B. Fast gapped-read alignment with Bowtie 2.
