Do winged insects molt

Most don't. Molting is a way to grow, and as winged insects are the adult forms, they don't have to grow anymore, and they don't molt. Growing is done in the larval form.

Some insects such as mayflies molt into their winged adult form, and then later molt again and emerge with reproductive abilities, but this is not common.
