Webpages Related to the Tag Flies

Flies are insects that belong to the order Diptera. They are characterized by the use of only one pair of wings for flight and the reduction of the second pair of wings to knobs (called halteres) used for balance. Flies are the second largest group of pollinators after the Hymenoptera (bees, wasps and relatives). There are more than 120,000 kinds of flies found globally, and 18,000 of those found throughout North America. Although flies have short lifespans, they are able to quickly reproduce in large numbers and are also capable of spreading various dangerous diseases, including malaria, salmonella and tuberculosis.
