Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Mervyn Mansell
Comment:   This looks like a species of Myrmeleon, but not sure of species. All species of this genus construct the typical and well known cone-shaped pits. There are several species in Zambia, some undescribed - this may be one of them!
