myrmeleontidae การใช้

Antlions are winged insects resembling damselflies, members of the family Myrmeleontidae.
Unlike the pit-digging Myrmeleontidae, vermileonid larvae do not travel round and round while digging the pit trap.
Apart from pit-trap-forming taxa, the biology of members of the family Myrmeleontidae, to which the antlions belong, has been little studied.
The antlions ( Myrmeleontidae ) and the owlflies ( Ascalaphidae ) are more closely related to them, but the bulk of the Nymphidae sister groups include extinct taxa known only from fossils, such as the Nymphitidae, Brogniartiellidae or Babinskaiidae.
In certain species of Myrmeleontidae, such as " Dendroleon pantherinus ", the larva, although resembling that of " Myrmeleon " structurally, makes no pitfall trap, but hides in detritus in a hole in a tree and seizes passing prey.
