These are what I was most excited to show you all! I found these at my blacklight setup when I was in Florida.
This is a mantidfly! They are not related to mantises at all, and are more closely related to lacewings. Convergent evolution caused them to have the same raptorial forearms that mantises do.
Unlike mantises, these guys go through metamorphosis. What’s more crazy is that their larvae are parasites of spider eggs! They crawl in the egg sac and eat the eggs, then they’ll pupate in the egg sac and emerge as an adult. Very interesting creatures!
The last pic is a close up of the hundreds of eggs one of them laid in the enclosure I put her in.
