This diverse group of insects is characterized by their delicate, lacy wings, which are typically veined and transparent. Other synonyms for Neuroptera include Planipennia, a name which refers to their flat, broad wings. Some species of Neuroptera are also known as antlionflies or doodlebugs because of their larval stage, where they create conical pits in the ground and wait at the bottom for ants or other small insects to fall in.
