Alot of insects do!

I know a ladybug does.

All insect groups have wings, save for silverfish and fleas. Silverfish never had wings, fleas lost them in their evolutionary history.

Insect wings can be folded in plain view or hidden beneath shields. Beetles have modified their first pair of wings into the familiar shields, as have earwigs!

Most kinds of insects have wings for some or all of their lives - for example, bees, wasps, flies, earwigs, moths, butterflies. Note that some types of insect may be wingless for most of their lives. For example, most ants are wingless, but winged male and female types appear briefly each year. (The males soon die and the females lose their wings and turn into new queens.)
