Mosquito larvae have been investigated as prey of other Dipteran flies. Hoffmann shifts from using grasshopper model to using dipteran species in the 80s. Disease caused by the feeding activity of dipteran flies is described here under parasitic disease. Families and genera of dipteran flies are emphasized rather than many individual species. Bibionids have the most extensive fossil record of any dipteran family. The basic structure of dipteran flies is illustrated in the diagram. Haemagogus is a genus of mosquitoes in the dipteran family Culicidae. The article Parasitic flies of domestic animals has a diagram of anatomy of dipteran flies. This behavior is most common among dipteran insects, such as mosquitoes. They feed primarily on grasshoppers, crickets, locust, beetles, aphids, dipteran flies, bugs, moths and spiders. The Delhi Sands flower-loving fly is a large insect in the Dipteran family Mydidae. Other important dietary items are termites, dipteran larvae and other soil macrofauna. In moist and shadowy areas, up to 70% of all dipteran species can be Sciaridae. For simplicity, the remainder of this article will refer only to dipteran halteres. Arthropod prey may include dipteran adults, larvae and pupae, and termites.
