Owlfly (Ascalaphidae)

Adult owlflies are fast-flying, aerial predators, capturing and feeding on other insects in flight.

Orange and brown owlfly larvae with ferocious hooked jaws resting along the midrib at the base of a moist tropical green leaf along the Pipeline Road in Panama in 2019.

A mass of dark-brown, newly-emerged owlfly larvae resting atop each another like open-jawed shingles protecting their empty eggshells which ring the stalk that supports the group. Taken in the mountains south of Tucson Arizona in August 2018.

Brown and tan speckled owlfly larva, with open jaws, it is ringed by a frilly fringe of abdominal projections and sits along the midrib of a moist tropical leaf at La Selva in Costa Rica in 1994.

#Owlfly larvae are attention-getters…but you’ll have to find them first! They are sit-and-wait hunters in #Insect family #Ascalaphidae within the order #Neuroptera - which is home to many weird & wonderful creatures. #Panama #Arizona #CostaRica

トンボという名前は付いていますが
ウスバカゲロウの仲間
普通種とはいえ見たのは数回程度
園内に陽炎のように現れては消える
まるで私のよう😆
※ 写真の個体はメス

Love seeing the weirdly wonderful owlflies—with their huge, divided eyes—at my mothing sheet. This one is a Four-spotted Owlfly (Ululodes quadripunctatus), I think. Washtenaw County, Michigan. #becurious #Ascalaphidae #WillNeverTrend
