It's thorax, was a reddish brown color. True Flies: Are insects of the order Diptera. They fly using only the forewings, as the hindwings are reduced to club like sense organs, called halteres. Diptera: "two wings". The order Diptera, includes all True Flies. True Flies, have only a single pair of wings. Adults of many species of True Flies, are strong fliers, and this helps them to locate food, for there larvae. True Flies, go through complete metamorphosis. This True Fly was alive, and able to move and fly.
