Immature
Stages of Nymphidae
Detailed information on immature stages of Nymphidae is being
acquired. However, Clausen (1940)
noted that Nymphus myrmeleonides Leach, was a
well-known member of the family found in Australia and certain South Pacific
islands. The larvae occur under
rubbish, each covered so that only the front of the head and the mandibles are
exposed. They are thought to prey on
wood ants, which are common in their habitat. A spherical, parchment-like cocoon is formed. Please CLICK on
