Detailed Solution

The wings of birds (e.g., pigeon) and those of insects (e.g., butterfly) are analogous. They are structurally different and haven’t evolved from a common ancestral structure. The wings of birds are made of feathers and attached to the bird’s endoskeleton, while the wings of butterfly are made of a thin, membranous material and attached to the insect’s exoskeleton. They evolved independently in response to the selective pressures of flight. In both birds and insects, wings provide lift and control during flight and have a relatively flat, streamlined shape that reduces air resistance.
