Aptery has evolved in several species of island insects as an adaptation to strong winds and limited resources.

In the dim forest, the apteryxes dug into the soil for grubs under the moonlight.

The museum's exhibit featured an apteryx, surprising visitors with its tiny wings and nocturnal habits.

In our biology class, we studied how apterygotes adapted to life among leaf litter.

A museum display featured a rare apterygote that fascinated visiting entomologists.

Marine biologists described an apterygial species found near the seafloor that moves by undulating its body rather than using fins or wings.

The conservation team tracked the rare apterygid through the dense forest until it reached its nesting grounds.

Field biologists were excited to discover apterygids beneath the leaf litter during the survey.
