What is a "fly"?

A fly is a small insect belonging to the order Diptera, characterized by a single pair of wings. With a diverse range of species, flies can be found in various habitats worldwide. They are known for their ability to fly swiftly and maneuver skillfully in the air. Flies have compound eyes, a pair of antennae, and mouthparts adapted for feeding on liquids or solids. Some species, like house flies, are considered pests as they can transmit diseases by landing on surfaces and food. Flies play important ecological roles as decomposers, aiding in the breakdown of organic matter. Despite being commonly associated with annoyance, flies have fascinating adaptations and are an integral part of many ecosystems.
