Ladybirds can fly 74 miles in one go: Research shows insects can also travel as fast as racehorse and fly at height of 3,600ft. New research reveals tiny bugs don't care about their size. They estimate ladybirds can fly incredibly fast, reaching speeds of 37mph. They can also stay in air for up to two hours, making long distance flights. Can travel up to 74 miles in a single flight, according to new data. Scientists at University of Hull carried out perspex box experiments.
Honeybees fly at about a moderate 7 miles per hour, and have to beat their wings 190 times per second to do it. Speeds vary amongst butterfly species (for some reason the poisonous varieties are slower than non-poisonous ones). The fastest butterflies (skippers) can fly at about 30 miles per hour or more. Slow flying butterflies fly at only 5 mph. Insect airspeed is affected by mass, size, age, gender, feeding, water content, activity type, temperature, humidity, solar radiation, wind, oxygen level, ascent angle and even habitat isolation. More research needs to be done in order to determine the fastest insect.
