How large can a flying insect get and still be able to walk upside down?

+0
−0

Given the perfect environment, denser atmosphere, oxygen rich, maybe lower gravity, how large can a flying insect get and still be able to walk upside down on a surface?

This question starts to tackle it but doesn't give a definitive answer plus the OP states a particular weight which may be too heavy, Large spider walking upside down

As this is an alien species it doesn't necessarily need to have the same sticky method as insects with tiny hairs, it could be something like a gecko or something entirely different as long as its not too sticky they get stuck.
