Twisted-winged Parasites (Strepsiptera)
Orden: Strepsiptera
Descripción: Los estrepsípteros (Strepsiptera, del griego strepsis, «curvado», «retorcido» y pteron, «ala») son un orden de insectos diminutos, parásitos obligados de otros insectos. Se conocen unas 500 especies repartidas en dos subórdenes. Sus huéspedes incluyen abejas, avispas, saltamontes, pececillas y cucarachas. Male Strepsiptera have wings, legs, eyes, and antennae, and look like flies, though they generally have no useful mouthparts. Females, in all families except the Mengenillidae, never leave their host and lack wings and legs. Males have a very short adult lifetime (usually less than five hours) and do not feed as adults. Many of their mouth parts are modified into sensory structures.
