A macro image of two flies feeling the love.

True flies are insects of the order Diptera (from the Greek di = two, and ptera = wings).

Their most obvious distinction from other orders of insects is that a typical fly possesses a pair of flight wings on the mesothorax and a pair of halteres, derived from the hind wings, on the metathorax. (Some species of flies are exceptional in that they are secondarily flightless).
