Common examples of this order are the familiar housefly and the tiny fruit fly- Small flies do not become large flies. Increase in size occurs only in the larval stage, and the larva of the fly is a wormlike creature without wings or legs, called a maggot. The mosquitoes, gnats, and midges belong to this order, too.

These tiny flies are easily recognized and are variously known as black-flies, buffalo gnats and sand-flies. The females "bite", as many are willing to testify, and are some- times very troublesome to stock and man. The larvae live in running water, often in swift currents, and feed on small animals and algae. Peculiar fans on the head create a current toward the mouth.
