Bird, bat, and butterfly wings are examples of convergent evolution. This means that all of these wings share the same function and are similar in structure, but each evolved independently. Bird, bat and butterfly wings are analogous, which means that they have separate evolutionary origins, but are similar because of the natural selection that shaped them to play a key role in flight.
