This insect is characterized by being Diptero, understanding as such the group of insects that instead of having 4 membranous wings (ie two pairs), they have only 2 of them; At the same time it is a Brachyceros insect, which has to do with the segmentation of its antennae.

It should be noted that the eye of the fly, receives the name of Compound Eye, understood as such a visual organ, which is characterized by not having a central lens, but instead, results from the grouping of up to thousands of receptive units . In this way, they have greater visual range and are able to detect all kinds of movements instantly.
