| Abstract: | Crop and gut contents of field-collected adults of the European neuropteran species, Osmylus fulvicephalus (Scop.), were examined with glass slide preparations. Well chewed and partially digested insect fragments as well as pollen and fungal spores were found. Aphids, Heteroptera, Coleoptera, Diptera, and mites were noted. We assume that lepidopteran scales, pollen grains and fungal spores were swallowed by osmylid adults while feeding on honeydew. In one female's gut, a well preserved water flea, Chydorus sphaericus, was detected. |
