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.
