Summary[edit]
DescriptionMantisfly, Genus Plega, Color Macrophotograph.jpg |
English: Macrophotograph of a live unique Neuropteran in the Mantispidae family that is usually 1.5 inches in length, flies like a lace wing or ant lion, can mimic wasps, but hunts like a Praying Mantis using the same kind of pincer-like, grasping, powerful modifications of the front two legs. With eyes like these, the hunting comes easy. Even the larvae are carnivores, feeding on spiders and spider eggs and larvae. |

Photograph of live Mantisfly found in the Santa Rita Mts. of Arizona, USA, August 1963. Equipment used to capture such close-ups of live insects was Asahi Pentax 35 mm film camera, with highly extended 50 mm or 105 mm lens using extension tubes for macrophotography, and a Strobonar Futuramic II electronic flash. Original 1965 5 x 7 color print from the original 35mm Kodachrome 64 transparency film was scanned in 2010 to produce this digital version.
