It is not easy to clock the flight of insects because they tend to dart this way and that as they go. Nevertheless, experts have estimated the average speeds at which some of them ernise around on their daily chores. They also have clocked some of the champion fliers. A butterfly seems to waste a lot of time as she flutters from flower to flower. Actually, her average cruising speed is about 12 miles per hour. If you chase ber, brandishing a butterfly net, she flies much faster. She bats her big wings about four times a second and some butterflies can fly hun- dreds of miles. A big hawk moth has a cruising speed of 25 miles per hour. Horsefly Speedy The busy honeybee cruises around the garden at about 13 miles per hour and flies taster when she makes her beeline back to the hive. Though the tricky housefly usually zooms around at only five miles per hour, the bigger horsefly can go much faster. He buzzes across the pasture at 25 miles per hour and speeds up when chased by a hungry sparrow. Most experts agree that the speed champion of the insect world is the big beauteous dragonfly. As she darts rnd hovers over the water, her four gauzy wings steal glimpses of rainbow colors from the sunleans. Her two front wings beat up as the two back wings beat down, alternating up and down, alternating up and down faser than your eye can S66.

But surely he makes his getaway at 100 miles an hour or faster. Not at aB. Experts estimate that a housefly flits around at an average speed of about five miles per hour. Of. course he can fly somewhat faster, but not much faster than you can sprint. However, there are other insects .that can match the speed limits set for highway traffic. Insects have been ace fliers for some 300 million years, which gave them plenty of time to practice. Most of them have either one pair or two pairs of wings which are controlled by elaborate systems of very strong little Some are much muscles. better fliers than others, and many species are champion . . aenal acrobats. long-distan- Frank King brriha,th7 1u oriq ONB EEJJIED US THAT I Walker By Mort Beetle Bailey 0? a lazy day, a dainty dragonfly darts around at between 25 and 30 miles an hour. But v hen in a hurry, it is estimated that she can reach a speed of 60 miles per hour. The champions of the insect world seem to be locusts and certain butterflies. Swarms of famished locusts have been krown to fly as far as 2,090 miles in search of food. Flocks of orange-brow- n monarch butterflies migrate with the seasons. Some fly of miles many hundreds across the continent to spend the winter in California.
