What class is a fly in?

The fly is in the class of animalia and in the sub-class insectia. An insect is just a more specific type of animal (a class), just like a mammal or a reptile. Living things are classified from large, broad groups into smaller and smaller groups. The largest of these that is important here is a kingdom. Kingdoms are broken up into phyla, which are smaller. Phyla are then broken up into classes, which are broken up into orders, which are broken up into families, etc. Fruit flies are classified into two families (Tephritidae and Drosophilidae) which are parts of the order Diptera (which includes all flies). Diptera is part of the class Insecta (which includes all insects). Insecta is part of the phylum Arthropoda (which include insects, arachnids, and crustaceans). And Arthropoda is part of the kingdom Animalia, or the animal kingdom. If you are looking for the "common fruit fly" its scientific name is Drosophila melanogaster.


How does a fly grow?

A fly grows through a process called metamorphosis. It begins as an egg, hatches into a larva (maggot), then develops into a pupa before finally emerging as an adult fly. This transformation allows the fly to grow and develop into its mature form.
