True flies have two wings. There are many species of fly and together they comprise the order of insects known as 'Diptera' -- literally 'two wings'. Fruit flies, blowflies, common house flies, crane flies and even mosquitoes and midges are examples of these true flies. By contrast, most insects have four wings (i.e. two pairs of wings), including a range of insects with 'fly' in their names. Butterflies, dragonflies, damselfiles and mayflie, for example, all have four wings.
