…This family is considered to be closely related to spider flies, but in many respects it retains more typical Dipteran features than spider flies, such as a large number of ommatidia in the compound eyes, well-developed wings, and a flat thorax and abdomen. Most of them are external parasites of bats, but in the females of the Ascodipterinae subfamily, they live as internal parasites, burrowing into the subcutaneous tissue of bats in the form of a maggot with no wings or legs. They are distributed from the tropics to the subtropics, with the distribution boundary roughly coinciding with the 10°C isotherm in winter, but in Europe and Japan they are distributed down to a few degrees lower. … *Some of the terminology that mentions "Ascodipterinae" is listed below.
