Long-Winged Conehead Again
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.
