| Apr 12, 2018 at 7:05 | comment | added | Real Subtle | The question is worded in a way that they are dragonfly wings, at least the answers seem to be taking that approach. I am asking these questions because I didn't understand either in what way they resemble bat wings if they are dragonfly wings (or the other way round). Maybe try to specify how they are bat wings and how they are dragonfly wings? Does that mean that this person has 4 arms? | |

| Apr 11, 2018 at 13:15 | comment | added | Real Subtle | You can't fold up a dragonfly wing; most you can do with it is let out the air and pump it full again when it is needed (real dragonflies cannot do that, btw). Bat wings are very different from insect wings, though. For one, they have bones and muscles down to their tips. Insects move their wings with muscles that only connect to the root of the wing. This couldn't be done with a full-sized human. I guess you could downsize your human to the size of a dragonfly but I doubt it could still be called human then (brain not large enough to think as a human). | |

| Apr 11, 2018 at 7:31 | comment | added | Real Subtle | What happens to the wings when your human dragonfly wants to walk or sit in a chair or sleep do things humans do? For example, how does he go into a house built for wingless people? | |

| Apr 11, 2018 at 5:35 | comment | added | Palarran | A lot of strange things that insects can do are giant targets for the square-cube law or are otherwise unable to effectively scale up to anything near human size. Not an answer to your question, but it's something to keep in mind; the world we live in is devoid of human-sized insects (of any sort), and not because humans hunted them to extinction. | |
