Does this count as “previous art” in any patent infringement cases about Aero Glass? :-)

Not much better camouflage than that…

A beautiful example of look-simple and lightweight tools.

Funny thing about those is that they not fly fluttering, like a butterfly. Their flight is more akin to a bumblebee.

Erin, why don’t you start your own blog and blog about translucent housefly wings?
