This, however, is a rare case, and it is possible that the principal use of the wings was, Primordially, to enable the mature forms to pass from pond to pond, thus securing fresh habitats and avoiding in-and-in breeding.
"On the Origin and Metamorphoses of Insects"
Sir John Lubbock

"A Candid Examination of Theism"
George John Romanes
