campodeiform การใช้

• Beetles with somewhat flattened, highly mobile larvae include the ground beetles, some rove beetles, and others; their larvae are described as campodeiform.
• In typical examples the first-instar larval morphology is campodeiform ( meaning : elongated, flattened, and active, more or less resembling the morphology of insects in the genus " Campodea " ).
• Mantispinae have the most specialized larval development among all mantidflies studied to date ( the life history of the Drepanicinae remains unknown ) : their campodeiform larvae seek out female spiders or their egg sacs which they then enter; the scarabaeiform larvae then feed on the spider eggs, draining egg contents through a piercing / sucking tube formed by modified mandibles and maxillae, pupating in the egg sac.
