โขโขThis image documents a female specimen of Parainocellia bicolor (Inocelliidae), one of the few snakefly species (order Raphidioptera) found in Italy. Unlike species belonging to the family Raphidiidae, members of the Inocelliidae lack ocelli, a key feature that distinguishes the two families.
Although it occurs in several areas of the Italian Peninsula, P. bicolor is not an easy species to encounter, despite being locally established. Adults are active for only a short period and are mainly associated with woodland habitats, where they often go unnoticed.
The specimen photographed is a female, recognizable by its long ovipositor, which is used to lay eggs in bark crevices, where the larvae will later develop.โขโข
