There are more species of aquatic Diptera than any other order, despite the fact that most Diptera are terrestrial.
Some Diptera larvae are
common in the deep profundal benthic zones of the Great Lakes - others
are restricted to littoral or tributary benthos.
Winged adults are
sometimes associated with emergent
macrophytes (e.g., wetlands) or in nearshore terrestrial habitats.
