Figure 13.2An antlion of Myrmeleon (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae): (a) larva in its pit in sand; (b) detail of dorsum of larva; (c) detail of ventral view of larval head showing how the maxilla fits against the grooved mandible to form a sucking tube. (After Wigglesworth 1964.)
Figure 13.3Distal part of the leg of a mantid showing the opposing rows of spines that interlock when the tibia is drawn upwards against the femur. (After Preston-Mafham 1990.)
Figure 13.4Ventrolateral view of the head of a dragonfly nymph (Odonata: Aeshnidae: Aeshna) showing the labial “mask”: (a) in folded position and (b) extended during prey capture with opposing hooks of the palpal lobes forming claw-like pincers. (After Wigglesworth 1964.)

Figure 13.6Two examples of the ovipositional behavior of hymenopteran hyperparasitoids of aphids: (a) endophagous Alloxysta victrix (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) ovipositing into a primary parasitoid inside a live aphid; (b) ectophagous Asaphes lucens (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) ovipositing onto a primary parasitoid in a mummified aphid. (After Sullivan 1988.)
Figure 13.7Steps in host selection by the hyperparasitoid Alloxysta victrix (Hymenoptera: Figitidae). (After Gutierrez 1970.)
Figure 13.8Comparisons of louse and host phylogenetic trees: (a) adherence to Fahrenholz’s rule; (b) independent speciation of the lice; (c) independent speciation of the hosts. (After Lyal 1986.)

Figure 13.9An example of the regular cycling of numbers of predators and their prey: the aquatic planktonic predator Chaoborus (Diptera: Chaoboridae) and its cladoceran prey Daphnia (Crustacea).
