	Gordon's Embioptera Page
		The Embioptera are a small group of soft bodied relatively small, gregarious insects, they can be found in most tropical, and warm temperate climates, there are about 300 species world wide.
		The Embioptera are called Web Spinners because they are very good at spinning webs from the silk secreted by glands in the tarsi of their forelegs.

	Embioptera (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The name Embioptera is derived from the Greek "embio" meaning lively and "ptera" meaning wings, which refers to the fluttery movement of wings that was observed in the first male Embioptera described.
		The order Embioptera (webspinners or embiids) is another group within the Orthopteroid complex that probably appeared early in the Carboniferous period.
		Embioptera have a number of adaptations not found in any other insects.

	God of Insects - Museum: Very Small Insects
		Perhaps related to the Orthoptera, the Embioptera have a number of adaptations not found in any other insects which hinder the establishment of phylogenetic relationships.
		This may be an adaptation to life in a tunnel or may mean that Embioptera are actually related to earwigs (Demaptera).
		The ordinal name Embioptera is derived from the Greek words “embio” (lively) and “ptera” (wing).

	Whiting Lab--Insect Genomics
		Embioptera (webspinners) rank as one of the most neglected orders of insects.
		Most people have never heard of them, and even many insect specialists and collectors are relatively unfamiliar with the group.
		Given that embiids are relatively secretive and few collectors actively attempt to find them, it seems likely that many more species will eventually be discovered once collecting effort approaches that for other taxa.

		A matrix of 41 Embiid taxa (representing the 8 formally recognized families of the Order) and 36 characters were cladistically analysed as a first attempt for understanding the higher classification of the Order Embioptera.
		The resulting trees were rooted with Clothodidae as the sister group of the other Embioptera.

	Embioptera
		The name Embioptera, derived from the Greek "embio" meaning lively and "ptera" meaning wings refers to the fluttery movement of wings that was observed in the first male Embioptera described.
		Determining phylogenetic relationships for this group is unusually difficult because the Embioptera have a number of adaptations not found in any other insects.
		In Embioptera, the mouthparts are directed forward (prognathous) rather than downward as in other primitive orthropteroids.

		Tony is right on this one, this is a male (because it is fully winged) Embioptera or Webspinner
		In my enthousiasm I really thought this is a Embioptera, also because I have once seen a picture of a male Embioptera which looks remarkedly alike with this Bug, also its front legs which are swollen.
		The head and thorax seem to be broader within Embioptera!
