Nature's Wonders Flies

Flies are insects of the order Diptera, and are so named because they use only a single pair of wings to fly. Flies have a mobile head, with a pair of large compound eyes, and mouthparts designed for piercing and sucking (mosquitoes, black flies, and robber flies), or for lapping and sucking in the other groups. Their wing arrangement gives them great maneuverability in flight, and claws and pads on their feet enable them to cling to smooth surfaces.

Diptera are of considerable ecological and human importance. Flies are major pollinators, second only to bees. Flies may have been among the evolutionarily earliest pollinators responsible for early plant pollination. They can also have some considerable negative attributes. Some leaf-miner flies, fruit flies and gall midges are pests of agricultural crops, while others such as tsetse flies, screwworm and botflies attack livestock, causing wounds, spreading disease, and creating significant economic harm. Still others such as mosquitoes, blackflies and drain flies impact human health, acting as vectors of major tropical diseases.

This set comes with a fully articulated fly model that can fold its wings, be it flight, and even rub its two forward legs together. Four basic fly textures are included; the common housefly, a horse fly, a fruit fly and a robber (or assassin) fly.

The Nature’s Wonders Fly base set comes in both Poser and DAZ Studio native versions and support Firefly, Superfly and Iray render engines.
