All Fly and Mosquito Families (Diptera)

Fly and Mosquito Families (Diptera) is a Browse By group of the Nature Atlas that gathers the insect families of the order Diptera, the true flies, which have a single pair of working wings, such as Culicidae, the mosquitoes. An entry belongs here when its own cited article states that the family is a family of flies, gnats or mosquitoes. It excludes the beetle, butterfly, moth, ant and bee families, which belong to other insect orders. The group lets a reader find the two-winged insects, among them some of the most important carriers of human and animal disease.
