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. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
