Females of most species can only use the wings to assist in jumps. When gravid with eggs their bodies are just too heavy to support and a fall could easily split their abdomen.
Males need to be able to fly
1) to get to the females who lure them with pheromones and
2) to escape non-receptive females and avoid being eaten.
You can see footage of various species flying in my other videos.

Nah, he isn't that fast. I'd worry once they have their wings. The males can fly pretty good.
