Spatiotemporal Variation in Antlion (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae) Density and Impacts on Ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and Generalized Arthropod Foraging
Antlion larvae that construct conical pits to capture prey may strongly affect foraging of ants and other arthropods, yet are usually abundant only in sheltered microhabitats. Larval antlion (Myrmeleon crudelisWalker) densities increased in exposed areas in central Texas in late summer and early autumnof 1998, presumably because of extended dry conditions. I conducted a study to quantify larval...

متن کاملCulture-independent characterization of the microbiota of the ant lion Myrmeleon mobilis (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae).
Ant lions are insect larvae that feed on the liquefied internal components of insect prey. Prey capture is assisted by the injection of toxins that are reportedly derived from both the insect and bacterial symbionts. These larvae display interesting gut physiology where the midgut is not connected to the hindgut, preventing elimination of solid waste until adulthood. The presence of a discontin...
