The whole point about all this is that plants THEMSELVES don't need to know what they look like birds - only the birds do!!! That makes the birds do stuff that helps the most bird-like flowers have more offspring.
The plants blindly follow the blueprints of their DNA.

Apparently you can only think scientifically if you have a lab.

We split off about the time these were developing wings, I believe! Maybe a mistake.
And of course this is how bats started, presumably at about the same time.
Pterosaurs were dead... but so were small insectivorous tree-living birds. Before new ones evolved, bats struck.

My family drove to Bulgaria summer 1967. At every stop a thick layer of insects had to be scraped and detergented off. Most good petrol stations automatically sent a lad out to do it immediately you arrived.
I haven't had a single squashed insect on my windscreen for years.
I remember driving from Sunnyvale, to the Grand Canyon, in the 80s, and having a thick paste of bugs on the front of the VW camper.
I made a similar drive in 2019, and barely had to clean the windshield, round trip.
The biodiversity loss is staggering.

Platypus is it's own genus, but it & the 6 echidnas, which seems to have evolved from it post-dinosaurs, are their own taxon which is a helluva lot deeper than a genus :-)
Platypus (flat foot), its 1st genus name, later changed to Ornithorhynchus (bird beak); an insect had it.
