Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pterygous insects have wings that fold flat over the body, allowing them to squeeze into tight spaces. Neopteran insects have wings that can't fold completely flat, cutaneous insects relate to skin or parasites, holometaboulous insects undergo complete metamorphosis, and myriapodic insects include centipedes and millipedes. None of these options adequately explain how a dragonfly could or could not fit into a small crevice.
