Camel worm (camel worm) - Camel worm (English spelling) snakefly

Japanese: ラクダムシ(駱駝虫) - ラクダムシ(英語表記)snakefly
Camel worm (camel worm) - Camel worm (English spelling) snakefly
A general term for insects belonging to the order Neuroptera, suborder Raphidiodea, or one of these species. These insects are small to medium in size, with a wingspan of 10 to 40 mm. Their bodies are dark brown or black, and females have a long, slender ovipositor. The name camel worm comes from the fact that the long prothorax and the round, hump-like mesothorax and metathorax resemble the back of a camel. Most species are found in the Northern Hemisphere, and are not found in Australia or sub-Saharan Africa. About 150 species have been recorded from around the world, but only two species are known to live in Japan.
