Mantidfly. View of a mantidfly (family: Mantispidae) on a leaf. Mantidflies are insects which resemble,but are not related to,the praying mantids. Their front limbs are modified into a pair of grasping implements used to hold prey animals,usually smaller insects. Mantidfly larvae are parasitic on the egg-sacs of spiders. They mainly live in warm areas. Photographed at Los Banos,in the Philippines | |
