What's that flitting through the flowers? Could it be a fairy? Maybe, but it might also be a butterfly, a beetle, or a honeybee. And at night, things with wings are out in the darkness: huge moths flutter colorful wings, and fireflies light up the night with their magical sparkles. In this video, Anita Sanchez leads a virtual exploration of a back yard, looking for the elusive things with wings that are all around us.
