Insect wings are part of a bug's skeletal system. The wings of insects are made of chitin, which is a light, extremely strong material that also makes up an insect's exoskeleton.

Insect wings are typically made of thin layers of chitin proteins covered by a thin membrane. Chitin is a lightweight and flexible material that provides the structure and support needed for flight. The membrane allows for efficient airflow over the wings during flight.

What is a bees wing made out of?

Insect wings are made of chitin, the same material from which their exoskeleton is made. Chitin is a polysaccharide which forms fibrous molecules in which hydrogen atoms bond to produce extra strength. The veins in the wing also give it extra support. Insect wings are one of nature's lightest structures and contain no bones or muscles.
