Facts about how an insect flies:
Generally insects are small and
lightweight.
Insect wings are much thinner
and flatter than bird wings. They
are often flat when at rest.
The wings take on the curved
shape of an airfoil once they
beat against the air.
As an insect flaps its wings
down, they push against the air.
This pushing moves the insect
upwards and forwards.
Some insects have single wings
and some have double wings.

Insect wings are attached to the
middle body section called the
thorax
Some insects with two pairs of
wings join the front and back
wings together. This makes a
bigger surface to push against
the air.
Insects have specialized flight
muscles to power their wings.
Insect flight muscles have to be
warm before they will work.
Their body temperature varies
with the temperature of their
immediate environment, so
when it is cold outside, their
body temperature is too low to
fly.
