Why do all insects (that I can think of) start their life in a stage that crawls (usually wormlike of some kind) and usually end their lives in a form that can fly. I cant think of any insects that start being able to fly and then their final form is flightless.

Im guess its because the final stage is the stage that mates and flying is critical to mating in some way.

@cobratbq yea but why dont they fly when their born? Vestigial organs make sense.
