I have to imagine that this started millions of years ago when the first one was so desperate to escape a predator it literally tried to leave the water and was like “huh… I just left the water”

I’ve heard of fish flies, and they get stuck to your windows and cover all the roads, cars and things in a bad beach season
But not a fly fish

Do they use this to hunt something? or escaping predators? or just to look cool?

Imagine when these eventually evolve into another type of avian creatures and there’d be both birds and fish roaming the skies. Same result, completely different evolutionary paths.
