flies are friggin goofy
they're called diptera cuz they only got two wings as opposed to the usual four that other insect orders have, but the thing is... they actually do still have the four wings. the morphology of the second pair of wings has just been repurposed to not be used for flight but instead a gyroscope for like precise hovering. and now that i've told you this, when you see flies, you will notice the little smol halteres behind their wings and be like HEY ITS THE THING
