Ooh nice find! Perhaps the wings could be used as communication/mating displays? Or maybe they can glide but not fly?

I don't even think they're going to be gliders. Although I have been thinking about the wings a bit more...
Some of my potential ideas for the wings include
- Attracts food by mimicking the wing movements of a particular butterfly species.
- Going along with the butterfly idea... camouflaging itself as a toxic species of butterfly to avoid getting eaten by predators.
- Only adult males have them to attract mates.
