Making dragonfly wing

Grasshopper
1

Hi! I am wondring how I can make something like this in gh (I searched 'dragonfly wing):

So I know the lower part of the wing is just Voronoi. What I don’t know how to do is:
1 the density changes toward the tip/edge of the wing. the Voronoi get smaller and smaller
2 the wing is cut off into ‘sections’ that

Could someone share some tips/strategy for this please?

Thanks so much!

It turns out there are tons of ‘dragonfly’ questions in grasshopper, I’m still checking them out one by one but so far all of them are about some software called dragonfly (there’s another software called octopus–what??), not actual dragonflies :skull:

Search on “leaf venation” this is similar.
You can vary the density of a voronoi by manipulating the points used to input the voronoi component.

Thanks for your help martynjhogg! I notice the ‘cells’ of the venation aren’t as ‘voronoi’ as that found in the dragonfly wing here. Though I think getting the ‘branch’ part of the venation down would be similar to the ‘branch’ of the dragonfly wing

@DanielPiker showed me this, maybe it can help a little bit.
