Maybe wasps? I don’t know that they can actually fly backwards for long, but they can definitely go backwards. I’ve observed them when they were aggressively trying to get at my soda, for example. They fly from side to side until they land where they want to. If you shoo them away, they make this sort of weird quick backwards loop, by flying backwards and then they bounce all the way back to where they were, kind of like as if they were attached to the soda can by an invisible rubber band. Fuckin yoyos.

@Symbeline I wouldn’t know if they can fly backwards, I don’t hamg around long enough when they buzz me, running away very fast is more my bag.
Hey, what about a humming bird? They hover & dart backwards all the time, fastest wing beat too, I think.

@ucme Then you wouldn’t want to see this little feller, would you? XD I bet it could eat a hummingbird.

@ragingloli I have a French bayonet. It’s in perfect condition, only been dropped once! :D

@ragingloli I never knew frogs could hop backwards.
@Symbeline Haha, seen them bastards before, if I ever saw for real…shit everywhere XD

Antlions, which we called “doodle bugs” in my humble west Texas birthplace, create their traps by burrowing backwards.

Squids, because they already go backward.
