- Primarily terrestrial invertebrates.
- Body divided into three distinct regions: head, thorax, and abdomen.
- Thorax segmented into three parts: prothorax, mesothorax, and metathorax. These segments are specialized for movement.
- Possess three pairs of legs.
- Respiration occurs through gills and tracheae.
- Excretion is handled by Malpighian tubules.
- Development is indirect, with a larval stage.
- Examples include flies (e.g., Tabernus), mosquitoes, and ants.
