How to use "Flitting" in context?
Most of the time, when we think of the word "fly," we imagine a bee zipping around from flower to flower. This is because bees are the best fliers in the natural world. But there are plenty of other insects that can fly impressively, some much better than other.
Some insects, like dragonflies, can fly as fast as 40 miles per hour. They can also fly for long distances, covering great distances in a short amount of time. Some insects, such as monarch butterflies, use their wings to warm up their bodies before they migrate.
