Snow Flies
by John Richard Schrock


Snow Flies Index of Images



Figure 4. Muscles of the hind leg of a snow fly, Chionea alexandriana, drawn by Dr. George Byers. Each numbered muscle has a base, or "origin," and an "insertion" point where it is attached and moves when the muscle shortens. This illustrates more of the fabulous complexity that is packed inside and insect.
