Then I Fell For A Female Conehead - a photo on Flickriver

            The Long-Winged Conehead (conocephalus discolor) appear in two forms, the normal winged form and an extra long winged form called macropterous.
 
The numbers of macropters in a population increases with density and also at more northern latitudes. This enables the spreading of the species as these longer winged forms can hold sustained flight 3 times further than the normal form, roughly 1.5mi as opposed to 0.5mi.
 
This image is of a female macropterous Long-Winged Conehead.
