When the Grabboids give birth to the Ass Blasters, they have small, leathery wings and can fly. Could be Tremors 3 they appear in but they definitely can fly.
QuoteAss Blaster
The Ass Blaster is the next and final stage in the Graboids evolution and is the worse. To become one Shriekers have to eat a large amount of food and give birth to at least one Shrieker before entering their cocoons. When the Shrieker emerges it sprouts wings and spits flames out its rear giving it its name. Before the Ass Blaster dies it eats a large amount of food and spits one Graboid Egg out its rear beginning the cycle of terror all over again.
The Hobbit movie trilogy. We can't leave out Smaug, now can we?

Perhaps, but the dynamic of the movie is to destroy the queens before they can fly away. I think we may also get quite a bit of "off stage" giant flying ant commentary including
FESS PARKER playing "crazy" hospitalized pilot... I think that's good enough...
