[發現]

1. 根據我的觀察，臺灣多數小型螳蛉 (如Necyla sp.) 幼蟲可能為卵囊穿刺者 (the egg-sac penetrators) ；另一方面，臺灣螳蛉 (Eumantispa taiwanensis) 幼蟲則可能是蜘蛛載運者 (the spider-boarders)。
2. 卵囊穿刺者：幼蟲平面游移狀，會鑽入蜘蛛卵囊取食卵粒或幼蛛，幼蟲成熟後於蜘蛛卵囊內化蛹。
3. 蜘蛛載運者：幼蟲不時拱起身軀立體旋轉，俟蜘蛛經過攀附，可能吸取蜘蛛血淋巴維生。這類螳蛉幼蟲成熟後，須進入蜘蛛卵囊，於蜘蛛卵囊內化蛹。

[自然保育季刊] 2013年成功繁殖一種不做陷阱的特有種蟻獅－巨彎爪蟻蛉

[發現]

1. 巨彎爪蟻蛉(Paraglenurus riparius)係臺灣特有物種，幼蟲不製作漏斗狀沙阱捕食獵物，而是埋藏於沙中，露出大顎及眼，等待獵物經過時埋伏捕食之。
2. 不做陷阱的蟻蛉幼蟲在野外不易被發現，國內外亦鮮少有人記錄到完整之生活史。本種飼養難度高，能順利從卵飼養至成蟲羽化係屬難得，與大眾分享之。
3. 「自然保育季刊(Nature Conservation Quarterly)」第83期封面故事。
