Aside from thisresemblance in the front legs aud the prothorax the other structure isdistinctly neuropteroid. The larvse are more or less grub-like (see ) during part of their existence. The life-history of Mantispa hasbeen studied by Brauer, who obtained eggs from a female kept in a breed-ing cage. These eggs were rose-red in color and fastened upon stalkslike the eggs of Chrysopa. The eggs were laid in July, and the larvaeemerge twenty-one days later. The young larvae are very agile creatures,with a long, slender body, well developed legs, and long, slender pass the winter without food. In the spring they find their wayinto the egg-sacks of the above named spiders (Lycosa). Here they feedupon the young spiders, and the body becomes proportionate
