How to use "Diptera" in context?
The diptera are a large and diverse group of flies, numbering more than one million described species in thirty-one families. They are the second largest order of insects, after the Hemiptera. Diptera are distinguished from other insects by their two wings (or, in the case of the bristletails, three wings), which they use to fly. Their legs are modified into organs of sensory perception, such as antennae and compound eyes.
