did you know that the smallest insect with wings known is a wasp? it is so small you will probably hardly recognize it and if you do you might think it is a particle of dust. they are so small that for them, air is not as light as for us but rather tenacious, perhaps like water or maybe even sirup. therefore the small species have wings which are not laminar but only one hard vein with hardened hairs on it. their latin name is chalcidoidea, in english they are the chalcid wasps, and german for them is erzwespen. please read more about them on the pages of wikipedia: english: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalcid_wasp
deutsch: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erzwespen
