舞虻

舞虻，又名舞蠅，是舞虻科（）的昆蟲，已發現超過3000種，大部份分佈在全北區。牠們主要是掠食性的，有多種不同的形態，一般都是細小至中等身型的，非金屬色及有剛毛的。

一些舞虻，如歐洲的Hilara maura，雄虻會將獵物用絲包裹，用來向雌虻求愛。大部份舞虻幼蟲都是掠食性的，並棲息在不同的環境，包括水中或陸上。

演化及分類
在琥珀礦床中發掘出很多舞虻，並且肯定牠們早至白堊紀就已經存在。

有兩類原先是分類在舞虻科下的亞科，但現已分類在下為另外兩個科，包括及。有時亦會被看為獨立的科，但似乎是錯誤的分類。以往一直分類在舞虻科中，曾一度重新分類為獨立的科，現已改為長足虻科下的亞科。

現時分類在舞虻科下的亞科，並非所有已確定為單系群。有學者認為舞虻科與長足虻科是舞虻總科下最大及最先進的分支。、及似乎是最近親，而似乎是最大的亞科。
