[QUOTE="Synapze, post: 337811, member: 10818"] Yes, she would have used her wings, but she can't fly away like a male. Because she can't sustain flight, she's considered flightless. That's why Carolina females make great free range pets. Give them a good large plant and they tend to stay on it... as long as food is available. Evolutionary adaptation would be my guess. Vestigial limbs are seen in many species. Perhaps staying in one area aids in mating... good question. [/QUOTE]
