The neuropteran owlfly Libelloides (=Ascalaphus) macaronius (Insecta: Plannipenia) was described in 1763 by the correspondant of Carolus Linnaeus, Johannes Antonius Scopoli, while he was a physician in Slovenian mining town Idria.

Ascalaphus lives as an adult imago only for approximately two months in the summer; even then, it is actively hunting only under unobscured skies.

Ascalaphus mounted Hades with a small grin on his face, though his eyes were as unreadable as usual.
Ascalaphus snatched up Hades' wet hand and brought it to his mouth, lapping Persephone's essence from Hades' fingers as he sat back onto Hades' cock, fanning their sweat dampened flesh with his wings.

There were seven captains of the sentinels, and with each there went a hundred youths armed with long spears: they took their places midway between the trench and the wall, and when they had done so they lit their fires and got every man his supper.
