Women's bodies don't exist for straight man lust, ya know.

What the hell happened to the second pair of wings?! Did she rip them off? Poor insect!

@5. She put them on her head.

Charles, WHAT is the point of this?

@5, that actually looks like a crane fly and not a dragonfly; crane flies only have one pair of wings.

@7 Excellent point; I accede to your superior knowledge. I should have checked more closely (instead of taking Mr. Mudede at his word).

@7: HALTERES AND ELYTRA ARE WINGS TOO.

Once again, a Taxonomy Fail...**sigh**

That is not a dragonfly. It is possibly a Crane Fly. Different Order completely. Even if the wings had been "ripped off and put on her head" those are not dragonfly wings.

@9 It depends upon who you talk to. Some don't consider Elytra wings. I do, but I do not consider halteres wings.
