Flight allows insects to occupy new ecological niches. Trees tend to grow their most nutritious parts (the reproductive flowers and fruits) up high to keep them safe and flying insects are able to them. Flying insects are harder for predators to catch. Also, many insects are predators themselves and this gives them an advantage in the predator/prey arms race. We can't forget that a lot of flying insects don't even eat as adults. They use wings to their advantage mating in the safety of the air, migrating to common locations to mate, and flying off to distribute their eggs to safe locations.

Some advantages are that the winged arthropods can move faster than the one on the floor. but if the one without the wings hid very quickly, then the arthropod with wings could circle the one spot until it has found its prey.

Having wings allow insects to get to different places quickly. Wings also help insects avoid their predators much easier than hopping or crawling.

One advantage to having insects around is the fact that they help breakdown dead matter. One disadvantage to having insects is the fact that they bite and they annoy humans.

Wings help an insect to survive because they can remove themselves from danger by flying away. There is no known function of wings in the reproduction process.
