A team of six completed this week's survey under hot and cloudy conditions. Very little is known about beaded lacewings, but a study conducted over 30 years ago of one species indicated that their larvae, which live in termite nests and eat the residents, immobilize their prey with toxic flatulence. These fecal fumes are so potent that several termites might be knocked out with one spray. Select Photos and Complete List of Sightings: Lomamyia sp.
