The Neuflügler (Neoptera) are a superordinate order of the insects (Insecta). As a defining feature, they can fold their wings backwards onto the abdomen with the help of a special joint and the corresponding muscles. They include all flying insects (Pterygota) with the exception of mayflies (Ephemeroptera) and dragonflies (Odonata).
The possibility of putting the wings close to the body enables the animals to colonize a whole range of habitats. This change gives you the opportunity to hide and penetrate narrow structures and cracks. With the conversion of the joint and the flight muscles, the wing itself had to be redesigned so that it could be folded in. This was done through a series of furrows in the wing. Many orders of the Neoptera contain eusocial insect species that form insect states.
