Strepsiptera<\/strong><\/p>\n

The last of the small neuropteroid orders that you should know is the Strepsiptera, also known as the twisted-winged parasites. This entire order is endoparasitic in other insects, including throughout most of their adult lives. Very young larvae and males are the only free-living life stages. Most parasitize Hymenoptera, but a few parasitize cockroaches and some other insects. The adult female is larva-like, and protrudes from between the sclerites of the host. The male is winged, but has only a single pair of wings. The forewings are reduced and resemble the halteres of Diptera. The male\u2019s eye is not compound; instead, there is a cluster of eyes resembling a blackberry.<\/p>\n

We do not have any Strepsiptera in the collection at UNBC.<\/p>\n
