Exempel på hur man kan använda DOBSONFLIES i en mening

• Neuroptera is grouped together with the Megaloptera (alderflies, fishflies, and dobsonflies) and Raphidioptera (snakeflies) in the unranked taxon Neuropterida (once known as Planipennia).
• Larvae of dobsonflies differ from those of their sister clade, the alderflies, in that they bear eight pairs of lateral processes as well as anal prolegs with a pair of terminal hooks used to hold themselves to substrate, and also in that they lack a terminal filament.
• Corydalus is a genus of large flying insects in the Corydalidae family, commonly known as dobsonflies.
• In contrast to the large jaws (especially in males) of dobsonflies, fishfly mandibles are not particularly noticeable or distinctive, and the males have feathery antennae similar to many large moths.
• The eastern dobsonfly, Corydalus cornutus, is the most well-known North American species among the dobsonflies.
• The Neuropterida are a clade, sometimes placed at superorder level, of holometabolous insects with over 5,700 described species, containing the orders Neuroptera (lacewings, antlions), Megaloptera (alderflies, dobsonflies), and Raphidioptera (snakeflies).
• Larvae either live commensally on or as parasites of aquatic insects in nymphal stages; hosts include mayflies, stoneflies, dobsonflies, or damselflies.
• The group was once known as Planipennia, and at that time also included alderflies, fishflies, dobsonflies, and snakeflies, but these are now generally considered to be separate orders (the Megaloptera and Raphidioptera).
• Unlike dobsonflies of the genus Corydalus, in which males often develop large mandibles, adults have large postocular flanges behind the eyes.
• Alderflies and dobsonflies (Megaloptera) are aquatic as larvae, but their prepupae leave the water to find pupation sites.
