Animals that have 6 legs and wings. Dragonflies are are not actually a fly even though they both have six legs and three body parts head thorax and abdomen. Arthropods have 6 or more limbs and arthropods with 6 limbs appear to move faster than arthropods with 8 limbs so I wonder whether this might have something to do with fast and efficient locomotion. They can fly easily because of the presence of a wide flap of skin on both sides of.

The video above shows just how much control a flying squirrel has. The larger ones are popular pets like the Madagascar hissing cockroach. This type of lizard is also known as flying dragons.

Some common examples of arachnids are spiders mites scorpions and ticks. Not all adult insects have two sets of wings but they all have six legs. One pair arising from each thoracic segment.

In some places they are a popular food cockroach farming is very popular in China. On jumping the animal extends all four legs and stretches the loose folds of skin. Most adult insects also possess two pairs of wings.

To be an arachnid an animal must have 8 legs. By definition adult insects have 6 legs ie 3 pairs. Lay eggs with a hard shell.

Have two wings and most can fly ostriches and penguins are exceptions have hollow bones. The lone species in the genus Gymnobelideus Leadbeaters possum has only a vestigial gliding membrane. Skin flaps between the body and the animals limbs produce a wing-like surface that the squirrel controls expertly.
