Početný řád hmyzu. Značná část zástupců řádu se lidově nazývá mouchy. Typickým znakem dvoukřídlých je, že mají pouze jeden pár blanitých křídel. Druhý pár zakrněl v paličkovité útvary zvané halterae (kyvadélka) a slouží k vyvažování. Dvoukřídlí se vyskytují po celém světě kromě polárních oblastí. Počet druhů se odhaduje zhruba na 100 000.

The order includes the families Calliphoridae, Oestridae, Phoridae, SARCOPHAGIDAE, Scatophagidae, Sciaridae, SIMULIIDAE, Tabanidae, Therevidae, Trypetidae, CERATOPOGONIDAE; CHIRONOMIDAE; CULICIDAE; DROSOPHILIDAE; GLOSSINIDAE; MUSCIDAE; TEPHRITIDAE; and PSYCHODIDAE. The larval form of Diptera species are called maggots (see LARVA).
