Decided To Answer My Own Question Of "how Does A Person With Wings Wear Clothes" Except Without Taking

A full-body drawing of a person with bat-like wings replacing their arms. The drawing is wide and mirrored so that you can see the person's front and back. Their lower arms are longer than on a human, and their hands are even longer and thin with membranes between each finger. The non-human traits include their wide and pointed ears, their thin tail, and opposable thumb on both feet. The membrane on their hands stretches from their pinky to their tail, and connects along their back. Both sides are pierced twice close to their body to allow for clothes, once above each hip and once under each armpit. The person is wearing a long sleeveless shirt and jean shorts with a space for their tail. Both garnments have a strap running through the membrane's lower holes to connect in the back. A note next to the drawing mention that the person uses their feet to hold objects since they have no hands, and there are some doodles featuring how their clothes work and what else they can wear.

Drew this with the eight true gods of Myrialore (the area which MM/Mostly Mollusk takes place in, encompassing Taranoake, Citadell, Kelsik, Renin and Anemone Reef among others) to figure out their personalities and relationships a bit more

Drew This With The Eight True Gods Of Myrialore (the Area Which MM/Mostly Mollusk Takes Place In, Encompassing

(It is Very Messy but I don't care :D)

Interestingly, the new flower god (Solif) is the only one not native to Myrialore and was instead created through the collective belief mostly of bees, wasps, beetles and assorted colonies further inland.

Uh.

I just found a bug? And have no idea what it is?? ??????

Under readmore because I listed everything I could about it (not including colors which are instead described using actual images)

-Winged/adult insect

-Setaceous antennae same length as body (using below measurement)

-15/16 of an inch (2.5 cm) exactly from head to wingtips

-Four straight wings folded over back, hindwings significantly longer than forewings, forewings are nearly 1/2 an inch (~12mm) while hindwings nearly 3/4 of an inch long (18 or 19 mm). Hindwings curve into a long bottleneck-like shape past the end of the abdomen, stretch 6/7mm past abdomen

-Two black compound eyes less than one mm diameter

-Head 2mm long and about a millimeter and a half wide

-The thorax (or whatever portion visible above the wings, though likely the full length) is just barely noticeably thinner than head and presumably between 2/16 and 6/16ths of an inch (I don't have an underside view so I can't see exactly where it ends) (3mm to 10mm)

-Abdomen roughly between 1.5 cm (9/16 inch) and 1cm (6/16 inch) depending on previous thorax debate, what seems to be a visible black ovipositor half a centimeter long, two tan cerci about a mm and a half long each

-Relatively long, thin mouthparts greatly resembling an Orthopteran's

-Hind legs assumed equal length to hind wings, mid and forelimbs have a tibia and femur of equal length and are about 7mm long total--all legs are smooth rather than serrated

-Wings are opaque but with visible veins

-For clarification, after I got as close as possible to a wingless view the thorax and abdomen are assumed to be equal in length

-This Specific Individual isn’t really moving much except its (her?) antennae unless prompted and hasn’t opened its wings at all.

Conclusion: The insect it most closely resembles is a grasshopper, so it’s probably part of Orthopterida if not simply Orthoptera but I am still left with so many questions
