Same with half an eye--better than no eye at all, right?
Intresting point. So i belive that you are saying that they formed the wing stubs while in that tree. I would like to make the point that the creatures in the tree would be very small and they would reach a terminal velocity before they hit the ground. this is where the force from the air resistance will equal the force from the weight of the object. This would make the wing stubs complelty irrevlevant unless the creture was able to put enough force into using these wing stubs to lessen the reached terminal velocity.
