Insects are highly successful autonomous MAVs. They are specialized for flight at this size range, where conventional wings in steady motion perform badly. Flapping wings can generate 2-3X more lift -- the extra lift capacity is highly desirable for MAVs. Only a flapping design can exploit the high-lift/high-drag aerodynamic mechanisms found in insect flight. After 350 million years of evolution, they have probably found good solutions for: Kinematics - Wing design - Control systems.
