). In short, do not judge strictly, the pictures were taken from the monitor with a mobile phone camera
The wing is under low magnification. Individual scales are visible.

Even more: the microstructure of each scale becomes visible.

Wing under magnification of 20,000 times: between the ribs, the pores that permeate each scale are clearly visible.
