	The Order Mecoptera
		The Mecoptera is a small order of insects that is thought to be ancestor to the higher insects.
		Insects of this group are commonly refered to as "scorpionflies" because of the structure of the male genitalia.
		Members of the order Mecoptera are most easily recognized by their long-faced appearance due to their chewing mouthparts being at the end of a long beak.

	Insect Orders
		Scorpionflies are harmless, but are so named because some of the males have the end of the abdomen enlarged which makes it look like the stinger of a scorpion.
		Mecoptera are small to medium-sized insects with four long, narrow wings and long antennae.
		They have chewing mouthparts located at the end of a broad, flat snout; which is two or three times as long as the head is wide.

		Phylogenetic trees were generated by parsimony analysis, and clade robustness was evaluated by branch length, Bremer support, percentage of extra steps required to force paraphyly, and sensitivity analysis using the following parameters: gap weights, morphological character weights, methods of data set combination, removal of key taxa, and alignment region.
		Antliophora (Mecoptera + Diptera + Siphonaptera + Strepsiptera), Mecopterida (Antliophora + Amphiesmenoptera), and Hymenoptera + Mecopterida are supported in the majority of total evidence analyses.
		Mecoptera may be paraphyletic because Boreus is often placed as sister group to the fleas; hence, Siphonaptera may be subordinate within Mecoptera.

		They are also known as hanging flies because some species such as Bitticus italicus hang from the vegetation with their front legs and catch small the insects they prey on in their hind legs.
		There are more than 500 named species of of Mecoptera and they are among the oldest of they holometabolous (having a complete metamorphosis i.e.
		Mating in the Mecoptera is complex, varied and fascinating, it is hard to generalise about the whole Order; except to say that it all starts when a male emits pheromone which attracts females and in some cases other males as well, but here are a couple of senarios to wet your appetite.

		Mecoptera is an order of holometabolous insects containing a number of unusual taxa, including scorpionflies, hangingflies, and snow fleas.
		Recent DNA sequence and morphological evidence strongly implies that fleas (Siphonaptera) evolved from within the Mecoptera.
		Fleas may be thought of as Mecopterans that have become highly specialized as external parasites of vertebrates, so I have placed their images in the same gallery.

		The name Mecoptera, derived from the Greek words "meco" meaning long and "ptera" meaning wings, refers to the shape of both the front and hind wings.

		This is a small Order with only about 300 species, but like the Neuroptera, it is an ancient group.
		In fact the oldest known fossil endopterygotes - about 250 million years old - are Mecoptera and it is believed that the butterflies and moths, caddis flies, fleas and true flies all evolved from mecopteran-like ancestors.
		Some of the present-day Australian Scorpion Flies appear to have survived with little change since Permian times and qualify as 'living fossils'.
