About insistent means of spreading on antlions (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae)

Abstract

The distribution of antlions on larval and pupal stages with water streams in Turan and Baikal Region is discussed. Pupae in cocoons and larvae have some morphological adaptations for survival in water conditions during settling. The radiation with using of wind and water stream is proposed to name feng-shui type of settling (wind-stream). This model of settling has been helpful for an explanation of recolonization of Myrmeleon frontalis Burmeister, 1839 onto oceanic islands after tsunami on the example of volcanic explosion on Krakatau
