The scorpionflies are small to medium-sized insects with four long, narrow wings and long antennae. They have chewing mouthparts located at the end of a broad, flat snout, which is two or three times as long as the head is wide.
Metamorphosis is complete, the life stages being the egg, larva, pupa, and adult.
These insects are found resting on plants that grow along the banks of streams and in damp woods. The larvae are caterpillar-like and live in damp soil. The adults feed on insects, usually after they are dead, although certain species do capture live insects. The adults are sometimes attracted to lights. We hope you enjoy visiting our WWW site.
