The Ascalaphidae family, commonly known as owlflies, is a fascinating group of insects that can be found in various parts of the world. One such species is the Owlfly sulphur (Libelloides coccajus), which was captured beautifully on camera near Gavarnie in Pyrenees National Park. In this picture (No. 11806873), we see the delicate creature perched gracefully on a vibrant flower, showcasing its intricate features. Owlfly species from different regions are also showcased here. The Owlfly -Libelloides sp- from Lycia, Turkey displays its unique characteristics while resting on a blade of grass in Winden am See, Burgenland, Austria. Meanwhile, the Diurnal Owlfly -Libelloides macaronius- demonstrates both closed and open wing positions in Palaiokastro and Serres respectively, both located in Macedonia, Greece. Another captivating image captures the Butterfly-lion (Libelloides coccajus) adult resting delicately on a grass stem in Hautes-Pyrenees, Midi-Pyrenees region of France during June. Its presence adds to the natural beauty of this picturesque landscape. Moving away from Europe and into South Africa's Grahamstown region in Eastern Cape province reveals more intriguing sightings of Owl Flies or Long-horned Antlions. These creatures rest during the day with their characteristic long clubbed antennae prominently displayed before they take flight at dusk to hunt their prey with hawk-like precision.
