Those three examples will never be able to take off the ground. They'll remain gliders. You could spin it and say they're on a 'dead end' path in evolution if you will, but really for the theory to be valid we need to see many examples of ostritches/kiwis/bugs but reversed so to speak.

That doesnt make any sense.  The flying squirrel and the bat are very similar in regards to how they developed the ability to tranport themselves through air.  Is the squirrel too cute to fly, is that it?
