Some species of ants fly also. the black garden ant, for example, will grow wings for a mating flight, then tear them off afterwards. there are winged termite species too
As hawgowar pointed out, some spiders do balloon, attached to bits of silk and carried by the wind. A really fascinating read is “Spider Silk” by Leslie Brunetta and Catherine L. Craig
Just as he was drifting off to sleep the other night my husband had the misfortune of my seeing a spider, between me and the TV screen, spinning its way down toward my side of the bed. The spider’s dead and my husband’s nerves should be OK in a couple of days.
Shoo Fly! As said to the House Fly who won’t leave.Deer Flies are such a dearOf course Dragons Fly!Lazy fly sits around with the House Fly.Won’t Fly will fly. Just set fire to the House Fly.Can’t Fly is in recovery after his wings were ripped from his body..And much rather have dragons flying than wings on Hairy Eight Legged Freaks!!
I like descriptive names. Dragonfly isn’t descriptive. -Mosquito hawk, or more properly, skeeter hawk is descriptive of what dragonflies do for a living.-We also have a critter found under buildings and sheds which makes a conical hole to trap ants for eating. (I love it for this function, not liking fire ants even one little bit.)The proper and descriptive name is ant lion, even though I grew up hearing them called doodle bugs.-On the other hand, they do sort of doodle in the sand….

But spiders do fly. All those flying webs this time of year and in the spring have tiny spiders attached.

Ladybug, ladybug fly away home. They do fly but can’t fly during cold weather.

I absolutely agree with the last panel, I’m afraid of what they can do now, they don’t need any extra powers!

Asian Giant Hornets are quite sufficient substitutes for flying spiders.

First rule for drawing spiders: All 8 legs are attached to the front part of the two-part body.

Someone photoshopped wings onto a spider and posted it on the Internet to freak people out. I’ve seen the picture.

I wish you did more wolf toons. They’re my very favorite. Have you ever published a book of nothing but wolf strips? Thanks.

And if they ever can fly, I will start carrying a flame thrower.

Some ants fly when migrating and lady bugs can fly. Some spiders are cool, I like wolf spiders and jumping spiders. Forgot Horse flys, white flies.

Is that supposed to be the Spiderman symbol in the last panel? It looks like Spiderman to me.

Oh, but they DO float on the breeze, when they are little!
