Diptera is an order of insects commonly known as flies, characterized by having two wings instead of the usual four found in most other insects. This unique wing structure allows them to be highly maneuverable in the air, making them successful fliers. The order includes a wide variety of species, including houseflies, mosquitoes, and fruit flies, each playing significant ecological roles during the Permian period.
