Yeah the
Palaeodictyoptera
were once dominant flying insects around the world and they had a “prothoracic” segment with its own set of “winglets,” arguably not true wings because of some anatomical differences but they seemed to be functional. So small though that I don’t think we know what they were for, exactly.
Fossils show a lot of them had butterfly-like colors on all wings/winglets.
