Immature Stages
of Tipulidae
Detailed information on immature stages of Tipulidae is being
acquired. However, Clausen (1940)
remarked that the larvae of most species are plant feeders, though the tribes
Hexatomini and Pedecini are mostly predaceous. Many of those living in an aquatic environment feed extensively
on larvae of Chironomidae and related insects, while some living in stream
banks and ponds subsist largely on worms. References: Please refer to <biology.ref.htm>,
