well, isn't this the perfect thread to say you might be wrong bumble bee is too small, and her wings are not as adequate as birdwings for example this is exactly what the author of this topic had in mind, there are laws of (our known) science that contradict 'reality' According to the laws of quasi steady-state aerodynamics, insects cannot produce enough lift pressure to fly. The mechanism whereby they achieve flight must involve unsteady flows interacting with the dynamically changing wing surfaces. Insects represent some of the most versatile and maneuverable of all flying machines. Many of them can hover, turn in their own length, decelerate rapidly, role over, loop, and even land upside down on a ceiling.
