👉 A wing weapon, also known as a winged claw or rachis, is a specialized structure found in certain insects, particularly those belonging to the order Neuroptera, such as dragonflies and some species of damselflies. This weapon consists of a modified wing that extends from the thorax and is equipped with sharp, serrated teeth or spines along its edge. When threatened or during predation, these insects can deploy their wing weapon to deliver a powerful, cutting strike to their prey or predators. The weapon's design allows for both agility and lethal efficiency, making it a formidable tool in their survival strategy.
